Butterfield Park, NM

Butterfield Park is an unincorporated Doña Ana County census-designated place on the south side of U.S. 70, about 11 miles northeast of Las Cruces and on the road toward Alamogordo. It first appeared as a census-designated place in the 2020 census, which fits its place on the map: a named community with local roads and homes, but no incorporated town government. Las Cruces Public Schools serves the area, and Doña Ana County's parks planning map includes Butterfield Park among its community locations. The local frame is the highway and the school district, with the nearby Las Cruces area supplying the wider regional setting.
