2017 Map of La Mesa
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The fertile floor of the Mesilla Valley defines this agricultural landscape, where the Rio Grande is flanked by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. This 2017 survey shows the intricate system of laterals and drains, such as the West Side Canal, Chamberino Main Lateral, and Three Saints Lateral, that have supported farming in this region for generations. These waterworks connect a string of historic valley settlements, including La Mesa, Chamberino, and Vado. Genealogists will find the locations of Saint Josephs Cem and San Luis Cem near the town centers, while infrastructure markers like the Berino Bridge and Pipeline Bridge highlight the engineering required to manage the river's path through Doña Ana County.
