This town was the location of the Noria Siding and water tank.
Other facilities here were a small stockyard for livestock. Several
concrete foundations exist. A Post Office and Station House were
also here at one time. A few piles of red bricks and other rubble
can be found. In recent years a local rancher erected a steel water
tank for his cattle, and pumps water into it from the original wells used
by the railroad. Most of this town is located on the south side of
what used to be the tracks. A dirt road leads to the south of Noria
to the Mexican border which is about 1 mile away.

This is the remains of the main water tank at Noria. This structure once stood about 20 feet tall. In the late ‘70s vandals took a cutting torch to it, cut it down to a few feet and sold the metal for scrap. |

This appears to be a water trough used for livestock. To the right is a small rock and cement water tank that feeds it. |
