About this map

The Alamogordo Bombing Range and the White Sands Proving Ground dominate this high-desert landscape, reflecting a post-war era of military expansion and aerospace research. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and isolated ranching operations that existed alongside military testing sites. Landmarks like Salinas Peak and Silver Top Mountain tower over a network of canyons, including Cottonwood Canyon and Jance Canyon, while the Gyp Hills provide a distinct geological contrast to the south.
