2013 Map of Deming East

About this map

The Mimbres River drainage dominates the southern half of this landscape, moving through the eastern outskirts of Deming toward the ephemeral channels of Starvation Draw. This 2013 U.S. Geological Survey data illustrates the intersection of modern infrastructure and desert topography, where the Deming Municipal Airport and residential developments like those along Zinnia Rd meet the open basins of the high desert. To the north, the terrain transitions into the southern reaches of the Cookes Range, marked by significant drainage systems including China Draw and Rock Tank. The settlement of Mirage sits along the Hatch Hwy NE corridor, reflecting the region's sparse but essential transport network. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Mtn View Cem on the city's eastern edge, providing a focal point for family history research in this part of Luna County.
