Richard,
There were camels in New Mexico, too. The expedition using them started out from Albuquerque and headed to California, then returned to New Mexico. See the article at:
www.nevadaobserver.com/Reading%20Room%20Documents/camel_caravans_of_the_american_d.htm
I don't know of any associated sites but try contacting New Mexico's state archaeologist.
