1948 Map of Bingham

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Oscura Mountains and Chupadera Mesa define this high-desert landscape during a pivotal transition in New Mexico's history. By the late 1940s, traditional ranching and mining operations were increasingly overshadowed by federal defense needs. The southern half of the map is dominated by the White Sands Proving Ground and the Alamogordo Bombing Range, areas that forever changed the character of the region.
