2013 Map of Davies Tank

About this map

The Organ Mountains dominate the western edge of this landscape, giving way to the sprawling flats of the Tularosa Valley. This transition from high peaks to desert floor is marked by numerous drainage features, including Ash Canyon, Glendale Canyon, and Rucker Canyon, all feeding into the arid basin. Military and government activity is central to this area, evidenced by the presence of Condron Army Airfield and the proximity to White Sands. The infrastructure of the high desert is defined by isolated water sources and strategic roads. Water management in this dry environment is highlighted by scattered features like Davies Tank, Big Tanks, and Gondin Tank, alongside natural sources like Globe Spring. NM-213 and several Wsmr roads provide the primary corridors through this section of Doña Ana County.
