2010 Map of Desert SW
USGS Topo · Published 2010About this map
Tularosa Valley defines this arid landscape in southern New Mexico, where sparse development meets the sprawling basin floor. The sheet reflects a specialized geography of military and infrastructure routes, characterized by long stretches of McGregor Range Rd and intersecting tracks like N I F C Rd and S I F C Rd. These roads navigate a terrain largely shaped by tectonic and volcanic history, indicated by landmarks such as Davis Dome. Small pockets of human presence appear at the Jal Post Office and the isolated Hot Well near the southern boundary. This 2010 depiction provides a clear view of the high-desert road network and the limited but essential water and communication points that sustain activity in this part of Otero County.
