About this map

White Sands Missile Range borders the eastern edge of this arid landscape, where the Chalk Hills rise sharply above the basin floor. The terrain is defined by a sparse but vital network of water improvements, reflecting the ranching and resource extraction activities typical of this part of Sierra County in the early 1980s. Named livestock watering points such as Rabbit Tank, Crispy Tank, and Marys Tank are scattered across the desert flats, indicating the management of open-range grazing.
