Alamo Mucho Station,[1] the misspelled name of Alamo Mocho Station[2]: 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.[3]
Alamo Mocho meant trimmed cottonwood,[2]: 139 or a cottonwood with its branches cropped, mutilated or lopped off,[4] 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.
