White Sands Missile Range dominates the landscape of this high-desert region in Socorro County, New Mexico. The map reveals a land defined by strategic military infrastructure and the critical search for water, as evidenced by a network of ranching outposts and well sites. Family names are tied to the land at locations like Gallegos Ranch and Padilla Ranch, while the legacy of early water management is clear through labeled points such as Miera Well, Romero Well, and the Romero Wind Mill.
