Leasburg Dam

from $75.00

In 1907, the NM Bureau of Reclamation began what was known as the Rio Grande project. As a part of this project, the Leasburg Dam, a diversion dam in the southern corner of New Mexico, was completed. This dam diverts water into the 13.7 mile Leasburg Canal, and allows enough water to be re-routed to supply farms as far south as Las Cruces with irrigation.
