Sunshine sits in the northern reaches of this high desert landscape, characterized by a grid-like network of rural roads and agricultural tracts in Luna County. The terrain is largely defined by the prominent Midway Butte and the drainage of Seventysix Draw to the south. This area illustrates the late 20th-century expansion of rural residential and agricultural surveying, with road names reflecting local crops and land use, such as Chile Verde, Melon Rd, and Cacahuate.
