2020 Map of Foster Lake
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
White Sands National Monument and the surrounding White Sands Missile Range dominate this Otero County landscape, where the shifting gypsum dunes meet the Tularosa Basin. The intersection of conservation and military history is clearly visible, with the monument boundaries cutting through the northern reaches near Point of Sands. This modern survey reveals a largely unpopulated desert environment punctuated by critical water sources like Salt Spring and Harrington Spring in the northeast. Topographic detail highlights the isolated rise of Twin Buttes, while a network of service roads, including WSMR S Rt 260 and WSMR S Rt 266, traces the operational geography of the missile range.
