About this map

The arid landscape of Lincoln County in 2020 is defined by water management and military infrastructure. Stock tanks such as Sam Dillard Tank, J S Dillard Tank, and A A A Tank serve as critical collection points for the intermittent drainage systems that cross this high desert terrain. The most significant drainage is Harkey Draw, which runs through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle.

A network of restricted-access routes, including Wsmr P RT 11 and Wsmr S RT 337, crisscrosses the township and range boundaries of t8s r7e and t9s r8e. These White Sands Missile Range roads indicate the intersection of traditional ranching land use and modern military operations. The map provides a precise view of the topography where these access routes climb through the varied elevations of south-central New Mexico.
