Orthodox Jewish communities in southeast New Mexico?

I'm going to be going to Artesia, New Mexico sometime soon for job training. The problem is that I'm an orthodox Jew, and Artesia is in the middle of nowhere (when the nearest "major city" is Roswell, you know you're talking about a remote location). The nearest religious communities I've been able to find (by which I mean, Chabad outposts) are in like, Albuquerque, and El Paso, Texas. Both of these are like, four-hour drives from Artesia.

Are there any orthodox shuls (or Jewish communities at all), that are less than four hours from Artesia? Shabbos is going to be pretty rough, not having any other Jews within a 250 mile radius.

Any helpful suggestions out there? ("Stop keeping Shabbos" does not qualify as a helpful suggestion.) Thanks.

(PS: I realize there are probably better categories in which to place this question - but the browser on this computer is all screwy and won't let me choose differently - I'll probably re-ask later in a Judaism-related section.)
Would this qualify?
I know nothing about the Jewish religion (or very little) but I do know that Carlsbad is a very short drive from Artesia. It's only about 30 minutes on Hwy 285. I used to live in Carlsbad and have been through Artesia many times. There is nothing in Artesia except the Navajo Refinery and the US Immigration Training Center, so you must be going to work for INS.
Good luck!
