About this map

The southeastern outskirts of Deming transition abruptly from gridded residential streets into the dramatic northern foothills of the Florida Mountains. This 2020 survey documents the modern layout of neighborhood expansions like Mountain View, Ventura, and La Hacienda, which sit against a backdrop of prominent volcanic landforms. The landscape is defined by its drainage patterns and sharp elevation changes, notably through Mexican Canyon and the Capitol Dome Draw.

High-relief features such as Dragon Ridge, Chimney Point, and the namesake Capitol Dome dominate the eastern half of the map. These peaks overlook a network of modern rural roads and trails, including Whiskey Creek Trl, while localized water sources like Tubb Spring provide critical landmarks in this arid environment. The juxtaposition of suburban development and the rugged geometry of the Lovers Leap Canyon illustrates the ongoing growth of Luna County at the desert’s edge.
