The Mesilla Valley defines this section of the Borderlands, where the Rio Grande creates a lush agricultural corridor flanked by arid mesas. This modern survey illustrates the complex irrigation network essential to the region, featuring numerous channels like the Beck Lateral, Talbot Lateral, and La Union W Lateral. These waterways sustain the fields between the growing communities of La Union and Anthony.
