The Rio Grande valley dominates this landscape, serving as a corridor for settlement and agriculture just before the mid-century expansion of the region. The map captures the irrigation network essential to the valley's economy, including the Leasburg Canal and Mesilla Civil Drainage Canal, which fed the fields surrounding Las Cruces. To the north, the Ruins of Fort Selden stand near the Leasburg Dam, marking a point where military history meets modern water management.
