Where in La Mesilla was this filmed?

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 2006)

Since I live in Las Cruces NM, which incidentally is on the outskirts of La Mesilla (and where the movie credits gives thanks to the town of La Mesilla), I was just wondering what part this location had to do with the movie. How was La Mesilla connected to it? Was there shooting on location in La Mesilla? If so, does anybody know which particular scenes included La Mesilla? Just curious...have been attempting to research the answer to no avail. Also, is there anybody out there that is as impressed as I am with Heath Ledger's performance? I mean, his American accent was flawless (albeit a bit construed). If you contrast the range of his past performances (lets say with another of my favorite films, "The Four Feathers"), it is quite easy to conclude that Hedger has a natural gift. I definitely expect him to be one of the next upcoming greats.
