The White Sands Missile Range occupies a significant portion of this high-desert landscape in Doña Ana County, highlighting the region's intersection of military history and conservation. To the east, the terrain transitions into the San Andres National Wildlife Refuge, a protected area defined by its complex network of seasonal drainages. These arid watercourses, including Fleck Draw, Gilmore Draw, and Horse Camp Draw, dominate the topography, revealing the natural drainage patterns of the basin. The presence of Indian Tank and New Well Draw suggests the critical importance of managed water points in this environment. Primarily accessed by military corridors like WSMR 5 Rd 306, the area remains largely undeveloped, preserving a specific mid-2020s view of federal land management and its geographical boundaries.
