It is a MILNET host, reachable through the ARPANET. (You may have used an MIT gateway into the ARPANET, which would explain why you thought the locations were congruent.) ARPA/MILNET sites connect directly over the high-speed data lines, regardless of physical location, so a New Mexican site is just as "next-door" to MIT as one physically located in the next building.
