The La Puente Community Ditch, through La Puente, New Mexico, is a 2 miles (3.2 km) long irrigation ditch which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]

It distributes water from the 1862-built Parkview Ditch, serving garden plots and 16 field plots. It extends from a Parkview discharge point, 100 yards (91 m) southwest of the state fish hatchery lake, to 0.7 miles southwest of La Puente on the Chama River.[2]
