1947 Map of Three Rivers

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a north-south line through this high desert landscape, connecting small sidings and family ranch holds before the intensification of regional military operations. This mid-century survey records the overlap of traditional ranching and the emerging defense infrastructure of the White Sands Proving Ground and Alamogordo Bombing Range. The terrain is dominated by the volcanic expanse of The Malpais to the west and the rising slopes of the Godfrey Hills in the center.
