About this map

Orogrande sits at the northern edge of this high desert landscape in Otero County, where a small grid of streets including Main St, Grace St, and Dutcher Ave marks the settlement's footprint. The terrain is characterized by sparse water sources and specialized access routes serving the surrounding arid expanse. Roads such as Oregrande Range Camp Rd and Co Rd A002 lead away from the town center into a landscape punctuated by isolated stock tanks.

Water management is essential in this environment, as evidenced by the presence of Sulphur Tank and Road Tank situated in the eastern and southeastern sections of the map. These features, along with the distinct township and range boundaries like t23s r9e, illustrate the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century infrastructure of the Tularosa Basin region. The map provides a clear record of the spatial relationship between the established community and the utilitarian desert landscape that surrounds it.
