Irrigation Gates
Mesilla is criss-crossed with ditches and canals. This irrigation system goes back to the founding of Mesilla.
The Rio Grande is the source of the water. The gates enable the water to be directed to specific places at specific times in specific amounts.

Great pictures! I'm writing a book set in rural NM and it was great to see what these irrigation gates look like.
