1982 Map of Lake Lucero NE

About this map

White Sands dominates this 1982 orthophoto quadrangle, where the shifting landscape of gypsum dunes meets the high-tech requirements of the Cold War era. This particular view highlights the transition from the protected terrain of White Sands National Monument to the restricted territory of the White Sands Missile Range. The orthophotomosaic base provides a photographic texture of the basin floor, revealing the precise patterns of dunes and sparse desert vegetation. In the southern reaches of the map, a remote Landing Strip and a small water catchment known as Antelope Tank suggest the dual nature of this land as both a wilderness and a functional military testing ground. The boundary between the national monument and the missile range is clearly delineated, showing how public preservation and national defense shared this unique New Mexico environment.
