2023 Map of Heart of the Sands NW

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

White Sands Missile Range occupies the central expanse of this modern topographic survey, illustrating a landscape defined by restricted access and geological transition. The eastern edge of the quadrangle showcases the iconic White Sands gypsum dunes and the stark, evaporative basin of Alkali Flat. This area is marked by a network of specialized military infrastructure, including restricted transit corridors such as Wsmr P Rt 10 and Wsmr P Rt 7. The intersection of multiple township and range lines across Sierra and Doña Ana counties highlights the complex administrative and land-management boundaries within the Tularosa Basin. The lack of traditional permanent settlements reflects the area's specialized role in national defense and the preservation of its unique arid environment.
