This dam was the first work construct.
ed by the reclamation service on the
Rio Grande project. The Mesilla diver.
zion dam is located near Mesilla Park,
New Mexico, about the middle of the
Mesilla valley. and furnishes water to
lands on both sides OF the river In
the lower part OF the Mesilia valley.
This dam has Just been completed.
The Mexican dam is located at the
upper end Of the Ell Paso valley lust
above the city OF FL Paso. Tex. This
dam was constructed a number OF
years ago by the Mexicans and serves
TO divert water both to the lands on
tho American side in the FL Paso val.
ley and to lands under the Aceauia
Madre on the Mexican side. From
these diversion dams several canal
systems are built.

OF acequias from the river, some OF
which are still in use. How long
these Indians had been on the ground
Is unknown, but even at that time
they were considered old inhabitants
and raised not only grain and fruits
but even flowers. The descendants OF
these Indians and the spaniards have
continued to cultivate portions of
these valleys up to the present without
much change in methods.
While the Spaniards first entered
the valley from Sonora and the Gull
OF California. the first attempts at
colonization were made from FL Paso
as a base, the Spanish conquest OF
Mexico having extended by that time
to the Rio Grande, In 1900, Paso del
Norte tnow called Juarez) was an i'm.

which refer to the Acequia Madre OF

The present aeequias in the Mesilla
