About this map

Tularosa serves as the central hub of this high-desert landscape, where the grid of the town meets the vital waters of Tularosa Creek. The area’s spiritual and communal history is anchored by Fairview Cem and Sacred Heart Cem, while its modern character is defined by the vast military installations of the White Sands Missile Range and Holloman Air Force Base to the west.

The surrounding terrain is a network of arid drainage systems and isolated water sources, including Allen Draw, Guilez Draw, and Sabinata Flat Arroyo. These features, along with scattered springs like Scholler Spring and Round Mountain Spring, highlight the traditional importance of water management in Otero County. Family-named roads such as Jim Day Ln and Baca Farms Rd extend into the agricultural and ranching fringes near the Coyote Hills, tracing the development of local land tracts.
