Chaparral

Chaparral, New Mexico is one of the largest unincorporated towns in the state of New Mexico. Separated from the rest of Doña Ana County by the Franklin Mountains and the adjoining U.S. Army land of the White Sands Missile Range, Chaparral is located 22 miles south of Las Cruces via Interstate 10 and then 16 miles east via N.M. 404 through what is now known as the "Anthony Gap." The state highway is the best access over the Franklin Mountains and provides area residents with a shortcut to El Paso International Airport, which is located on the northwest side of the neighboring Texas city.
