1976 Map of Holloman SE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Holloman Air Force Base dominates the northwest quadrant of this orthophotoquad, revealing the complex infrastructure of runways, hangars, and residential housing blocks as they existed in the mid-1970s. This hybrid map uses rectified aerial photography from March 1976 to show the desert floor in stark detail, contrasting the high-density military installation against the vast, arid terrain of the Tularosa Basin. Beyond the geometric precision of the base, the landscape is defined by natural drainage patterns and sparse vegetation typical of the region's Chihuahuan Desert environment. The photograph captures the installation's physical footprint just as it was becoming a primary site for tactical fighter training, providing a clear visual record of the specialized water management structures and transportation corridors that supported the military community in Otero County.
