About this map

White Sands dominates this Tularosa Basin landscape, where the shifting gypsum dunes meet the expansive Alkali Flat. This portion of the White Sands Missile Range reveals a specialized environment where military infrastructure and natural phenomena intersect. The terrain is defined by the stark white gypsum formations characteristic of the region, interspersed with the restricted access corridors of the missile range. Military transport routes, such as Wsmr P Rt 10, cross the flat expanse, highlighting the area's role in aerospace and defense testing within Otero County. The map provides a clear look at the township and range divisions, including t16s r6e, across this federally managed desert.
