Abandoned 1938 Dodge, Derry, New Mexico, 2010 by ©Bruce Berman
The main highway between Las Cruces and the towns of Arrey and Derry in New Mexico isInterstate 25 (I-25).. This route passes through these towns and is the primary thoroughfare connecting southern and northern parts of the state. In the past, U.S. Route 85 (US 85) also followed this route, but with the construction of I-25, US 85 was relegated to a secondary highway.
Russell Lee undoubtedly passed through this town as he went from El Paso, Texas to the south to northern New Mexico (Albuquerque, Sante Fe, Taod and beyond).
