text: # Carpenter, Grant County, New Mexico
  
  Carpenter was a settlement in Grant County, New Mexico. It was located on the west slope of the Mimbres Mountains, but its exact location is not now known. The site was reported to be a small lead-mining camp established around 1882, and was named because many of the prospectors were carpenters by trade before coming to the mine.[citation needed]
