This is an image of the geological structure known as Enchanted Mesa. It is the legendary home of the Acoma people.

The caption has been damaged and is partially readable:
ENCHANTED MESA, New Mexico
Legend has it that once Acoma Indians lived on this Mesa, but that an earthquake destroyed their entrance.

–The rest of the caption is unreadable. There is no remaining evidence of habitation on the top of the mesa today.

There is a note in the stamp area to use a 3 cent stamp for the postcard. This rate was only in force from August 1958 until January 1963, which dates the postcard within that range.
