About this map

The high desert city of Deming serves as the focal point of this 1990s survey, illustrating a community defined by its water sources and transportation corridors. The Mimbres River and several drainage features, including China Draw and Starvation Draw, cross the landscape, while numerous windmills like Spider Windmill and Sagebrush Windmill suggest the reliance on groundwater in this arid environment. The town's social and recreational infrastructure is well-documented, featuring the Rio Mimbres Country Club, the Lloyd Pratz Athletic Complex, and Mountain View Cemetery.

Transportation remains central to the region's character, with the Southern Pacific tracks and a parallel Pipeline cutting through the center of the quadrangle. North of the city, the land rises toward the Cookes Range, while the outlying settlement of Mirage and the Bell School site provide points of interest for local history researchers. The grid of roads, including Tapia Road and Ventura Road, shows the structured expansion of the area around the Deming Municipal Airport.
