2020 Map of Alamogordo South

About this map

Alamogordo and its southern suburbs occupy the transition from the Tularosa Basin floor to the steep western face of the Sacramento Mountains. The landscape is defined by the contrast between organized residential tracts in Boles Acres and Boles Annex and the deeply incised canyons of the Lincoln National Forest to the east. Transportation and infrastructure are centered on the Alamogordo-White Sands Regional Airport and a grid of secondary roads like Airport Rd and Hamilton Rd. In the high country, historical land use is suggested by features such as The Roundup Ground and Taylor Tanks, while the desert's hydrology is marked by isolated water sources like Cottonwood Spring and Fairchild Spring tucked into the slopes of Joplin Ridge and Dog Canyon.
