Luis Lopez is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Socorro County, New Mexico, United States.
At that time, it was located on the west bank of the Rio Grande, just east of its present-day site.
Since the village was not counted in that year, it is thought that it may have been abandoned for a short time and then relocated to its present position above the flood plain.
[3] However, most of Luis Lopez remains in the flood plain, protected from the Rio Grande by levees.
Today, the community of Luis Lopez consists of farms and a small suburb.
