1981 Map of Alamogordo North

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The northern reaches of Alamogordo sit at the foot of the Sacramento Mountains, where the high desert floor meets the rising slopes of the Lincoln National Forest. This era of growth is defined by a dense network of educational and institutional landmarks, including the N M School for Visually Handicapped and the International Space Hall of Fame, reflecting the town's connection to aerospace history and state services. To the north, the settlement of La Luz remains a distinct community, bounded by Luz Creek and the La Luz Speedway. The landscape is etched with the transition from rail to road, with the Southern Pacific tracks running parallel to an Old Railroad Grade that winds through Dry Canyon. Infrastructure such as the Aqueduct and numerous Water Tanks trace the essential management of water across the alluvial fans of Burro Flats.
