About this map

The western edges of Deming anchor this high-desert landscape, where the town's grid expands toward the dry bed of the Mimbres River. This survey captures the critical infrastructure of a regional hub, featuring the intersection of the Southern Pacific and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads. Industrial footprints are prominent west of the town center, most notably the Asarco Mill and its associated Tailings Pond, alongside the smaller settlement at Peruhill.

Local history and community life are reflected in the detailed labeling of institutions like the Mimbres Mem Hospital, Holy Cross Cem, and the clustered education facilities including the Jr High Sch and Smith Sch. To the northwest, the terrain rises toward the isolated landmark of Black Mountain, while the Wamell Canal suggests the ongoing efforts to manage water in the arid Luna County environment.
