Alamogordo and its surrounding desert basin meet the steep ascent of the Sacramento Mountains in this early 1980s landscape. The settlement pattern shows the city's southward expansion toward Boles Acres and Omlee, heavily influenced by the presence of Holloman Air Force Base and the Alamogordo-White Sands Regional Airport. Connectivity is defined by the Southern Pacific railroad and a network of pipelines and aqueducts that sustain the community against the arid terrain of the Tularosa Basin.
