Apache Tejo was a white settlement and watering stop in the New Mexico Territory, 12 miles southeast of Silver City, 3 miles south of Hurley, and 2 miles east of the Grant County Airport. It is just off U.S. Route 180, about 12 miles west of the mail route crossing of the Mimbres River and on the old Santa Rita-Janos (Chihuahua) trail. There was a railroad siding here once.
