1966 Map of Alamogordo Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Alamogordo Reservoir and the Alamogordo Dam anchor this mid-1960s survey of the high plains where the Pecos River carves through the landscape. Located along the boundary of Guadalupe and De Baca counties, the map documents a semi-arid ranching environment defined by water management and isolated settlements. Cattle ranching history is evident in named sites such as the Koontz Ranch and Trujillo Ranch, while scattered Ruins suggest older habitations near Salado Creek. A network of water infrastructure supports the local economy, from the Gaging Station below the dam to family-named wells like the Jose Maria Windmill and the West Sand Springs Windmill. Significant local heritage is also preserved at the Guadalupe Cem, located on a bluff overlooking the river valley.
