1981 Map of Foster Well

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this orthophotomap, showing the stark intersection of high-technology military infrastructure and remote desert geography in Socorro County. The orthophoto base reveals a prominent circular facility in the northern portion of the quadrangle, supported by a Heliport, an Observation Tower, and a network of access roads. This specialized landscape reflects the mid-century expansion of Cold War testing sites, where large-scale earthworks like the Borrow Pit were necessary to construct range facilities.
