2023 Map of Bull Gap

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates the western portion of this landscape, marking a clear boundary between restricted government land and the high desert of Lincoln County. This 2023 survey delineates a rugged terrain defined by sharp topographical changes, most notably where Rim Rock Canyon and Bull Gap Canyon carve into the earth. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid region, from the cluster of Willow Springs and Lower Willow Spring in the north to isolated points like Dalton Spring and Root Spring. The presence of improved ranch infrastructure, such as the I Bar X Ranch Rd, suggests the ongoing integration of livestock operations within this complex geography of canyons and draws.
