1948 Map of Mockingbird Gap

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Oscura Mountains bisect this high-desert landscape during the late 1940s, a period defined by the convergence of ranching heritage and Cold War military expansion. Large portions of the terrain are partitioned for the White Sands Proving Ground and the Alamogordo Bombing Range, reflecting the area's strategic importance for postwar weapons testing. Amidst this militarized zone, evidence of former habitation remains, such as the McDonald Ranch (Abandoned) and the Air Strip (Abandoned).
