About this map

Holloman Air Force Base dominates this landscape, serving as a significant military installation in Otero County during the early 1980s. The airfield and its immediate surroundings show a concentrated infrastructure, including a Control Tower, a Heliport, and a Hosp. The map reveals the community support structures for service members and their families, noting the Jr High Sch, Athletic Fields, and a Golf Course.

Beyond the base perimeter, the terrain transitions into a managed rangeland defined by water management and grazing. Features such as Dillard Draw and Red Arroyo provide the natural drainage, while family-named landmarks like Harrington Well, Kennedy Tank, and Mogee Tank indicate the vital importance of water in this arid environment. The presence of a Corral and various stock tanks further highlights the coexistence of modern military aviation with traditional Southwestern land use.
