2023 Map of Elephant Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Elephant Mountain and the southern Jarilla Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain within the restricted boundaries of modern military installations. This survey reflects the overlap of federal land management, where the White Sands Missile Range meets the northern reaches of Fort Bliss. In the southeast corner, the small settlement of Orogrande sits along the roadway, serving as a rare civilian waypoint in a landscape otherwise defined by military corridors like Wsmr S RT 252 and Wsmr P RT 2. Water resources are sparse, marked only by isolated catchments such as Flying-Eagle-Tank and McNew Feeder-Tank, which highlight the arid environment of Otero County. The mapping detail shows the stark transition between the rugged topography of the mountains and the vast, open flats used for defense testing and training.
