The Mesilla Valley is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and early land grants in the mid-1950s. The Rio Grande anchors the landscape, flanked by complex water management features like the Brazito Lateral and the West Side Canal. These channels support the agricultural settlements of San Miguel, Mesquite, and Santo Tomas, which are linked by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line running parallel to the river.
