The expanding urban footprint of Alamogordo anchors the northwestern quadrant of this survey, where residential grids and industrial infrastructure meet the stark transition into the Lincoln National Forest. This 2004 revision reveals the city's growth in the early 21st century, showing the developed parcels and infrastructure reaching toward the high desert canyons. The map documents the relationship between the built environment of Otero County and the dramatic topography of the Sacramento Mountains to the east, illustrating how the regional transportation network and city planning have adapted to the alluvial fans and drainage patterns that define the local geography.
