Puerto de Luna occupies a verdant stretch of the Pecos River valley, serving as a primary point of settlement in this part of Guadalupe County. The landscape is defined by the winding river corridor and the dramatic incision of the Cañon de Hughes to the south. Local heritage is centered around the Nuestra Senora de Refugio Cem, situated near the intersection of Madrid St and the river's edge. This modern survey illustrates how historical land patterns persist through contemporary rural infrastructure, with routes like Alamo Farm Rd and Paseo del Sol Rd following the natural contours of the valley. The arid uplands are cut by seasonal drainages such as the Arroyo San Juan de Dios, creating a stark contrast between the irrigated river bottom and the surrounding high plains.
