2013 Map of Orogrande South

About this map

Orogrande sits at the northern edge of this high-desert study, where the Tularosa Basin meets the foothills of the southern Otero County ranges. The settlement's small grid is anchored by a Po and defined by local thoroughfares such as Woodson Ave, Nelle Ave, and Gordan St. This geography is shaped by the transition from the arid flats of the Tularosa Valley to the elevated terrain of the Jarilla Mountains, as indicated by the complex contouring south of the townsite. The primary transportation artery, Us-54 N, bisects the valley floor, providing a vital corridor through the basin. Further south and east, the landscape becomes increasingly sparse, marked primarily by water management features like Sulphur Tank and Road Tank. The presence of the Oregrande Range Camp Rd points toward the area's strategic use for military transit and range access in this expansive desert environment.
