Dusty is an unincorporated community in Socorro County, New Mexico, United States.[1]

History

A post office was established in 1927, and remained in operation until 1983.[2] The dusty character of local roads account for the name.[3]

New Mexico Highway 52 passes by Dusty, N.M. This road, though gravel surfaced, has been recorded in Google Earth, and so one can get a road view of Dusty as it exists today. There appear to be one or more residences, but no businesses in operation.
