USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
Tularosa Valley dominates this desert landscape in southern New Mexico, a region defined by its distinct geological basins and sparse vegetation. The map reveals the expansive white gypsum dunes of White Sands and the nearby Alkali Flat, illustrating the unique arid environment of the Tularosa Basin. This 2013 survey follows the administrative boundary between Doña Ana Co and Otero Co, highlighting how political lines intersect with the natural topography. The minimal human infrastructure noted here is characteristic of this protected and scientifically significant area, where the shifting sands and alkali deposits create a constantly evolving terrain.
