About this map

White Sands Missile Range defines this part of the Tularosa Basin, where military operations and desert landscape management intersect. This 1982 orthophotomap provides a clear view of the high-altitude desert terrain, featuring essential water points such as Burch Tank, Dousette Tank, and the Thompson Reservoir. These features highlight the critical nature of water management in a region otherwise dominated by dunes and scrub. The map also documents specialized infrastructure including the Don Site, G Site, and a Radio Tower, which supported technical operations within the range during the late Cold War era. A solitary Landing Strip and various Jeep trails indicate the logistical network required to maintain these outposts across the arid floor of Otero County.
