2013 Map of Orogrande North

About this map

The Jarilla Mountains rise sharply above the southern Tularosa Valley, defining the landscape of this high desert region in southern New Mexico. Centered on the community of Orogrande, the map captures a transition from rugged peaks like Monte Carlo Gap to the expansive desert floor. Military boundaries are prominent, with the White Sands Missile Range occupying a significant portion of the western terrain. Local infrastructure is concentrated in the south, where residential streets like Carrol St and Grace St meet the corridor of Us-54 S. Historic mining and water management markers, including the Hurd Luck Tank and the settlement at Turquoise, point to the area's history of mineral extraction and survival in an arid environment. The map provides a precise look at these remote desert crossroads before modern expansion.
