East Mesa Community

Iglesia Bautista Buenas Nuevas is at the foot of the Organ Mountains on the flat area known as East Mesa. This is their new building. Notice all the green grass around the building!



Las Cruces starts at the Rio Grande and extends up the slope to the Mountains.

This area is a part of the great Chihuahan Desert. There are no trees here other than those that have been planted and watered. The older parts of Las Cruces have many trees that have been planted.






East Mesa is a growing community with many new homes being constructed. Probably these areas will someday have trees also if the water supply hold out.


The homes in the immediate vicinity of Buenas Nuevas are primarily manufactured housing and the streets are unpaved. The soil is very course sand, gravel and rocks. I am told that when the wind blows hard the blowing sand is very irritating.
