About this map

The White Sands Missile Range occupies the vast majority of this landscape in Lincoln County, New Mexico. The terrain is characterized by the expansive arid basin floor, marked by subtle drainage patterns like Harkey Draw in the southeast. Water management for ranching and range operations is evident through scattered infrastructure, including Sam Dillard Tank, J S Dillard Tank, and the A A A Tank, which serve as vital landmarks in this high-desert environment. A strictly organized grid of access roads, such as Wsmr P RT 12 and Wsmr P RT 9, crisscrosses the military reservation, highlighting the area's transition from open rangeland to a controlled defense facility. The map provides a precise view of the geographic townships within the t8s r7e and t9s r7e survey blocks.
