1948 Map of Granjean Well

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Alamogordo Bombing Range and the White Sands Proving Ground dominate this mid-century landscape in Socorro County. This era of military expansion is mapped over an existing network of high-desert ranching, where water sources like Granjean Well and Bruton Well were vital to survival. The map highlights the transition from private land use to federal defense jurisdiction, notably showing the McDonald Ranch Headquarters and Foster Ranch Headquarters within the military reservation boundaries.
