    It seems to be exactly that. I don't know what Santa Fe's population was in 1990 but my hunch is was just over 50,000. When I checked the New Mexico map - sure enough Santa Fe is a target.

    Santa Fe was (and still is) a tourist town. As far as I know - it has zero military or strategic value. The only thing that existed (and exists) here in vast amounts is very bad western art.

      Probably a bunch of military people working at Los Alamos who live in Santa Fe. Pretty sure Los Alamos will be cratered

        I only glanced at the NM map for a couple seconds. I don't know if Los Alamos was a target. If targets are crudely based (on population, nukes, military bases, etc) - the answer is probably "no". Los Alamos has a very small population.
