2023 Map of Lake Lucero SE

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this landscape in Otero County, where military infrastructure meets the arid geography of southern New Mexico. The map details a complex network of restricted access roads, including Wsmr S Rt 254 and Wsmr S Rt 250, which crisscross the desert basin. A single notable water feature, Tompson Reservoir, appears in the southern portion of the sheet near the junction of Wsmr S Rt 3570. The grid of township and range lines provides a precise framework for this high-security zone, illustrating how the modern Department of Defense mission has shaped the utilization of these public lands. The lack of traditional civilian settlements highlights the region's specialized role as a testing and research facility.
