USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Holloman Air Force Base dominates the central portion of this 1948 survey, reflecting the rapid expansion of military and aerospace testing in the New Mexico desert following World War II. The landscape is a mix of tactical installations and natural phenomena, with the Proving Ground and Alamogordo Bombing Range overlapping the shifting geography of the White Sands. Detailed labels reveal a specialized environment of research and defense, including a Radio Beam Sta, a Rifle Range, and even a Jeep Target.
