About this map

White Sands National Monument and the surrounding desert floor define this 1982 survey, where the movement of shifting sand meets federal military and park infrastructure. The landscape is marked by unique hydrological features such as the Garton Lake Flowing Well and Hurtz Spring (Salt), which provided essential water sources in an otherwise arid environment. Along the eastern edge, the presence of Holloman Air Force Base and the White Sands Missile Range signals the region's importance for national defense and aerospace testing during the Cold War era.
