The high desert of Luna County reveals a complex network of ranching, mining, and military movement during this era of southwestern expansion. Deming serves as a critical junction for three major railroads: the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, the Southern Pacific, and the El Paso and Southwestern. This logistical importance is reflected in the surrounding landscape, where the historic Old Butterfield Trail and a modern Pipe Line intersect near Massacre Peak.
