Overview, courtesy of Google Earth. The road along the bottom and right side is NM-104, this is all directly east of Las Vegas, NM. NM-129 heads south from the center of the map. That intersection is 70 miles east of Las Vegas. The dirt road leading to the base is C56A, which winds its way across the top and hits the road at the "5" in "2005" near the Google logo.
A zoomed in view. You can see a runway (approx 6,000 feet long). North-east of that is a field with two intersecting circles with diamonds in the center of each. West of that is what I believe to be the house shown in later photos.
The turnoff for C56A
End of the road. C56A is blocked by this gate, the ranch sign reads "Romero's" -- it's unclear if the road is public beyond this point or not, I need to consult the BLM to see. If the road is public then we can open the gate, close it behind us and proceed. That will have to wait for another day.
The clearest view of the house on the base that I could get. This view is almost directly west. That road in the background heads up to the field with the double-circles.
Zoomed in on the house.
Even more zoom.
