History[]

NM 171 was part of the original routing of NM 52 east of Interstate 25 (US 85). By the 1950s, this road had been bypassed by a new alignment of NM 52 further to the north, and was removed from the state highway system. In the 1988 renumbering, it was reestablished as NM 171.^[2] On October 16, 2014, NM 171 was given to the city of Elephant Butte, along with the portion of NM 195 in the city.^[3]
