2023 Map of Fifteenmile Lake

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this landscape in southern New Mexico, where the high desert meets a complex of ephemeral basins and specialized military infrastructure. The terrain is characterized by the expansive White Sands formation and a series of dry lake beds, most notably Fifteenmile Lake and Big Salt Lake. This area serves as a critical junction where Otero, Sierra, and Doña Ana counties meet, illustrating the administrative complexity of managing such a vast federal reservation. The map details a network of restricted military corridors including Wsmr P RT 6 and Wsmr S RT 297, which cut across the desert floor. The drainage of Three Rivers enters the northern sector, providing a rare hydrological feature in an otherwise arid environment defined by salt flats and shifting sands.
