Where was it filmed?

IMDb lists filming locations of most films- go to any film's main page and look on the lefthand side of the page for links to all sorts of info and trivia available for each film. In this movie's case there are 6 New Mexican filming locations listed.

I have lived in Santa Fe New Mexico for about 10 years now and there is a film ranch about 8 miles further on from where we live (The Evans Film Ranch just beyond the historic village of Galisteo). The history of the ranch was recently given in the local paper and they said one of the earliest films made there was The Man From Laramie (1955). Consequently, I have viewed the film many times to try and make out the various locations. The film ranch was expanded greatly for the film Silverado with Kevin Kline and Kevin Costner (it is said that this part was Kevin Costner's pay-back from director Lawrence Kasdan for being cut out of The Big Chill). Much of the ranch was burnt to the ground during the filming of The Wild Wild West and since it was re-built countless westerns for both film and TV have been filmed there (the most recent was Edge, a pilot for a forthcoming TV western paying homage to the Spaghetti Western). Anyway the main location filmed at the ranch was the old man's ranch, The Barb. The old lady's ranch (the woman who wanted to hire Stewart) was a ranch that
lies just north of the village of Galisteo and is not part of the Evan's Film Ranch. I am not sure where the salt flats sequence was filmed, but since a disclaimer at the very beginning of the film said it was filmed entirely in New Mexico, I am thinking these scenes were filmed at the White Sands Monument in the southwestern part of NM about 200 miles from Santa Fe - you may remember the scene in Silverado where Kevin Kline is set upon by a bad guy and is left only with his long johns - that was filmed at White Sands (White Sands is also the Trinity a-bomb site). The main location that I am wondering about was the town of Coronado. It is too authentic in most of it's details to not have been filmed in one of the NM Pueblos. Hollywood at this point just couldn't have made anything that authentic looking. I think there were additions
to the existing Pueblo done to make it look more town-like, but I think it really was one of our Pueblos. I believe someone has said it was Taos, but the mountains behind are not tall enough and knowing the Taos Pueblo as I do, I do not think they would have allowed such extensive filming to be done there (read Pueblo Revolt and you may get some feeling for the attitude of many of the Pueblos toward us Anglos). The mountains in the distance look like the Truchas Peaks so Peoblo they used may have been the Truchas Pueblo or the Picuris Pueblo. Can anyone shed some light on this?
