2011 Map of Alamogordo South

About this map

Alamogordo and its southward expansion define this desert landscape, where residential developments like Boles Acres and Omlee sit between significant aviation and military hubs. The sprawling footprint of Holloman Air Force Base occupies the central western portion of the map, while civil aviation is represented by the Alamogordo-White Sands Regional Airport and the Alamo Midway Airport to the north. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Sacramento Mountains, marked by a series of deep cuts including Alamo Canyon, Lead Canyon, and Muleshoe Canyon. This rugged transition from the Tularosa Basin floor to the higher peaks of Mule Peak is dotted with important water sources for the arid environment, such as Dripping Spring and Fairchild Spring. Local industry and land use are further evidenced by the Alamo Number Two Pit and named grazing areas like The Roundup Ground.
