About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this landscape in southern New Mexico, where military infrastructure meets the preservation of the Tularosa Basin. The quadrangle captures a transition from the protected expanse of White Sands National Monument in the northwest to the active testing grounds of the range. The few human footprints in this arid environment are restricted to established corridors such as WSMR P Route 21 and various secondary access points. Historically significant sites like Bairds Ranch and local water resources such as Antelope Tank are documented, highlighting the rare points of ranching heritage and water management within the restricted military zone. This survey provides a look at the sparse network of routes, including WSMR S Route 284 and WSMR S Route 286, that crisscross this high-desert terrain.
