New Mexico was formed through a combination of geological processes over millions of years, including volcanic activity, sedimentation, and tectonic movements. Its diverse landscape, featuring mountains, desert, and plateaus, is a result of the uplift of the Rocky Mountains and the erosion of ancient rock layers. Additionally, the region's history includes the influence of indigenous cultures, Spanish colonization, and later incorporation into the United States in 1912. The unique geological features and rich cultural heritage contribute to New Mexico's identity today.

Later on, by means of the Gadsden Purchase in 1853, Mexico sold the Mesilla Valley to the United States.
Dry quicksand is not found naturally in New Mexico. Quicksand is typically formed when saturated sand becomes liquified due to the upward flow of water. Dry quicksand, on the other hand, is a fictional concept often seen in movies and not something that occurs naturally in the state of New Mexico.
