About this map

The eastern foothills of the Organ Mountains meet the desert floor in this 2010 survey of the area near White Sands. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems cutting through the high ground, including Ash Canyon, Johnson Canyon, and Glendale Canyon, which all feed toward the Arroyo Salado to the south. Human presence in this arid environment is concentrated around water sources and transportation corridors, marked by the Globe Spring Ranch and several strategic tanks and springs like Davies Tank and Texas Canyon Spring.

Logistical and military infrastructure is evident in the presence of Condron Field and the winding path of Soledad Canyon Rd. The map illustrates the specialized land use of the Tularosa Basin, where ranching heritage and modern installations share the same desert expanse. The interplay of natural features like Globe Spring with established roads provides a clear look at how the region has been navigated and utilized into the early twenty-first century.
