2020 Map of Foster Well

About this map

Foster Well sits in the high desert of Socorro County, a quiet landmark in a landscape defined by water scarcity and military infrastructure. This arid terrain is segmented by a network of White Sands Missile Range access roads, including WSMR P Route 20 and WSMR S Route 342, which crisscross the open basin. To the south, Lewis Tank provides another rare point of named hydrography in a region where elevation changes are marked by subtle contour lines. The map reveals the strictly organized nature of this government-managed land, where section lines of t8s r3e and t9s r4e dictate the spatial arrangement of the few developed features. The orientation of routes like WSMR P Route 26 suggests the movement patterns required for maintaining and navigating this expansive high-desert territory.
