Mesilla Valley agriculture and desert expansion define this borderland landscape where the Rio Grande flows southward along the New Mexico and Texas state line. The community of La Union serves as a central hub, surrounded by a complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure including the La Union West Lateral, Talbot Lateral, and West Drain. This system of canals and laterals illustrates the intensive water management required for farming in the arid Rio Grande basin.
