That is not an old map; it's a map that I drew 6 months ago by tracing a current Google Earth image. It doesn't show Alamotero Rd going all the way to the launch site. It shows the road ending at the locked gate half a mile east of the launch site. I only drew the road in for reference. I could eliminate some of that road to avoid confusion, however -- I need to update the map anyway to show where the museum warehouse is. I drew the map before the tours were approved.
The map alone without that description will be misleading. The majority of the people visiting the website won't see your reply here. The map looks a lot like the old one I have that has been around on the SMRA website for years. About 13 years ago when I first visited the site, I went down Alamoterro Rd and it was barely accessible then. Completely blocked now. So, regardless of if it's usefulness as a reference or for recovery, you need to change the map to make sure people don't get confused and attempt it as a primary access point.
