The Doña Ana Mountains dominate the landscape in this high-desert region, rising sharply above the Mesilla Valley and the northern outskirts of Las Cruces. This survey provides a clear picture of the sophisticated irrigation network supporting the valley's agriculture, with the Rio Grande flanked by the Leasburg Canal, Shalem Drain, and Hill Lateral. These waterways sustain the land between the jagged peaks of the Robledo Mountains to the west and the prominent Doña Ana Peak to the east.
