1982 Map of Cerro De La Campana

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates the southern half of this landscape, reflecting the heavy military and scientific footprint in Socorro County during the early 1980s. The presence of the Stallion Range Center, accompanied by a Radio Facility, multiple Radio Towers, and a specialized Search Site, illustrates the region's role in cold-war era testing and communication. These high-tech installations stand in sharp contrast to the traditional ranching and mining roots of the area, evidenced by the Fite Ranch and the Gilmore Mine located to the northwest.
