Rio Grande waters define the corridor of the Mesilla Valley and Hatch Valley, providing the essential irrigation for this arid landscape through systems like the Selden Drain and American Bend Lateral. The historical footprint of Fort Selden sits near the riverbanks, anchoring a region transition from early military outposts to the small settlements of Leasburg and Radium Springs. Rising sharply from the valley floor, the Robledo Mountains and Lookout Peak provide a dramatic backdrop to these riverside communities.
