2013 Map of Lake Lucero SE

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this portion of the New Mexico landscape, illustrating the intersection of military infrastructure and the arid environment of the Tularosa Valley. The map detail focuses on the managed water resources essential for operations and livestock in this dry corridor, including Tompson Reservoir, Burch Tank, and Dousette Tank. A network of specialized military access roads, such as WSMR S Route 264 and WSMR S Route 1570, crisscross the basin, providing a record of the high-desert logistical routes used in the early 21st century. The geography is largely defined by wide open flats and the strategic transportation artery of Us-70 W, which cuts diagonally across the township and range divisions.
