About this map

Alamogordo Valley and the surrounding high plains of eastern New Mexico are defined here by a scattered network of ranching homesteads and seasonal watercourses. Large-scale landholdings like the Hornsby Ranch and Lasater Ranch occupy the plateaus near Luciano Mesa, while drainage from Bull Canyon feeds into the winding Bull Canyon Creek. This landscape represents a modern look at rural land management in Guadalupe County, where the settlement pattern remains largely tied to the topography of the valley floor and the available grazing land.
