2013 Map of Desert SW

About this map

Tularosa Valley defines the arid landscape of this border region, where the high desert meets the administrative lines of the New Mexico-Texas state boundary and the Otero-El Paso county line. The map reveals the infrastructure of a military-managed corridor, dominated by the McGregor Range Rd and a grid of specialized service roads including Patriot St, Ajax St, and Carlsbad Rd. Near the center of this industrial and tactical landscape, a lone Po marker suggests a hub of activity or a former outpost in an otherwise open expanse. To the east, the terrain rises toward Davis Dome, a distinctive topographic feature that breaks the valley floor. This 2013 survey provides a detailed record of land divisions and road networks within a controlled government area, documenting how mid-century military expansion shaped the modern topography of southern New Mexico.
