About this map

White Sands National Monument and the surrounding desert landscape dominate this 1940s topographic survey, revealing a region transitioning from ranching to intensive military research. The map documents the sprawling White Sands Proving Ground and the Fort Bliss Anti-Aircraft Range, featuring a specialized site for the California Institute of Technology and several Block House Targets. These military installations were superimposed over an older geography of isolated outposts like White Sands Ranch and Olden Ranch.
