Cedar Hill, New Mexico
A small community in San Juan County, northwestern New Mexico, notable in the UAP context as the intended destination of Ken Farley on the day he instead detoured to investigate anomalous activity at Hart Canyon Road near Aztec — the site of the alleged 1948 Aztec UFO crash.
Connection to the Aztec Case
Ken Farley, a local resident whose testimony is documented in connection with the Aztec crash, was traveling toward Cedar Hill when he diverted to Hart Canyon Road after noticing unusual activity and military vehicles. Cedar Hill's proximity to Aztec (approximately 10 miles to the northwest) places it within the immediate geographic context of the alleged March 1948 crash retrieval, in which a large disc was reportedly recovered from the canyon floor.
Geographic Context
Cedar Hill lies within the broader San Juan Basin of northwestern New Mexico — a region that also encompasses Farmington and Aztec, and which in the late 1940s was the site of multiple reported UAP sightings and encounters. The area's relative isolation and proximity to oil and gas infrastructure made unusual vehicle movements in the region potentially attributable to both industrial and military operations.
