2023 Map of Bitter Creek

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates the eastern landscape of this Otero County corridor, reflecting the deep military footprint in the high desert. The map captures a transition between the desert floor and the drainage systems of the Sacramento Mountains, marked by the westward flow of Three Rivers and Temporal Creek. These intermittent waterways provide a window into the natural hydrology of the Tularosa Basin, while the strictly regulated road network, including WSMR P Rt 9 and WSMR 5 Rt 322, illustrates the intersection of modern defense infrastructure with the traditional Public Land Survey System grids. This 2023 survey serves as a precise record of these government-managed lands, where the landscape is defined more by restricted boundaries and natural drainage than by civilian settlement.
