The San Luis Cemetery is easily missed when driving on NM Old 279, unless you're looking for it. The church is just off the road and faces away from the road, so you might not recognize the building as a church, either. The church has a remarkable facade, with two figures over either side of the entry, show an expenditure of pride and resources by the community to make and maintain the building.
The cemetery comprises about three-fourths of an acre in a rectangle, running NE-SW, parallel with Old 279. Parking is easy between the church and the cemetery, immediately outside the gate. The lettering over the entry gate has been lost to the elements. A pipe fence borders the cemetery on the W and S sides. The interments were well maintained when we visited in May 2020, but there is evidence that readable markers for one or two graves have been lost to history or the elements.
