Alamo Mucho Station

Alamo Mucho Station, the misspelled name of Alamo Mocho Station^: 111 was one of the original Butterfield Overland Mail stations located south of the Mexican border, in Baja California. Its location is 0.5 miles south-southeast of the Mexicali International Airport Terminal building.

Alamo Mocho meant trimmed cottonwood,^: 139 or a cottonwood with its branches cropped, mutilated or lopped off, something travelers in the Colorado Desert would do to obtain wood in this otherwise desolate region. A riparian species, cottonwoods are a conspicuous indicator of water at or near the surface of the ground where they occur in the desert.
