	Jornada del Muerto Desert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jornada del Muerto ("Journey of the Deadman" in Spanish) was the name given by the Spanish conquistadors to the 1660s route northward from New Spain, or Mexico.
		The Jornada del Muerto includes a large lava field in its northern half and is a long stretch of flat, nearly waterless land about 110 miles from north to south that remains almost entirely uninhabited and undeveloped to this day.
		The southernmost portion of the Jornada del Muerto, northeast of Las Cruces, is now an LTER (long-term ecological research) station, used for study of desert ecology, land management, plant physiology, and related topics.

	SEISMIC INVESTIGATION OF THE BURIED HORST BETWEEN THE JORNADA DEL MUERTO AND MESILLA GROUND-WATER BASINS
		The Jornada fault zone separates the southern Jornada del Muerto ground-water basin from the Mesilla ground-water basin in the Mesilla drainage basin.
		The upper part of the Jornada Horst is composed of Tertiary volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks; these rocks overlie Permian sedimentary rocks.
		Ground-water flow immediately east of the horst near U.S. Highway 70 is deflected northward in the southern Jornada del Muerto ground-water basin presumably because of the change from higher hydraulic-conductivity values of aquifer materials in the southern basin to lower hydraulic-conductivity values of materials in the horst.

		Onate, in 1598, named one of the arroyos Los Muertos, 'the dead' and the phrase Jornada Del Muerto in Spanish is journey of the dead man. However, since hundreds perished in this crossing, women and children as well as men, 'journey of death' seems a much more fitting translation.

	New Mexico Water Resources Research Institute Document Abstract
		The primary purpose of this project was to create a digital hydrogeologic-framework model for the Mesilla Basin area, including the Mesilla to Rincon section of the Rio Grande Valley and adjacent parts of the southern Jornada del Muerto (Jornada) Basin (Plates 1 to 7).
		Selden Canyon and El Paso del Norte “narrows,” respectively at the north and south ends of the Mesilla valley, form very effective barriers to significant inter-basin groundwater flow from aquifer systems of the Rincon Valley and to the Hueco Bolson.
		The Jornada Basin aquifer system has a groundwater-flow regime that is isolated from the Rio Grande Valley recharge sources.
