About this map

The Rio Grande and its intricate network of irrigation ditches define the eastern edge of this landscape, where the Mesilla Valley supports the historic agricultural lands of the Mesilla Civil Colony and Santo Tomas De Yturbide Colony. Managed by the Mesilla Dam, a complex system of waterworks including the West Side Canal, Del Rio Ditch, and Park Lateral feeds the valley floor.
