About this map

White Sands Proving Ground and the Alamogordo Bombing Range dominate this landscape during the early Cold War era, illustrating the post-war transition of Sierra County into a restricted military testing zone. The map documents numerous family-run cattle operations caught within these boundaries, including the Miller Ranch Headquarters, Wool Ranch Headquarters, and the Frank Crockett Ranch Headquarters.
