The Mesilla Valley defines this section of Southern New Mexico, where an intricate web of irrigation and drainage infrastructure supports a productive agricultural landscape. The Rio Grande serves as the primary artery for a complex system of canals and laterals, including the West Side Canal, La Union Main Canal, and Three Saints Lateral. This network sustains local industry as evidenced by the presence of large operations like Big Sky Dairy and Desertland Dairy.
