2020 Map of Capitol Peak SE

About this map

The Salina de San Andres dominates the southwestern quadrant of this arid landscape, highlighting the significant alkaline basins found within the Tularosa Valley. This 2020 survey records a territory defined by restricted access and hydraulic features, as evidenced by the network of White Sands Missile Range roads including Wsmr P Rt 23 and Wsmr S Rt 314. The hydrology of the area is centered on localized water sources such as Malpais Spring and the drainage of Salt Cr, which flows toward the Salt Springs in the north. Spanning the boundary between Sierra and Otero counties, the terrain is marked by township divisions such as t11s r7e and t12s r6e, reflecting a geography shaped by military presence and geological formations rather than civilian township development.
