The Tularosa Valley landscape is defined by its restricted military history and ephemeral desert waterways in this 2013 survey. Dominating the western and southern reaches is the White Sands Missile Range, including portions of the White Sands area. This high-desert terrain is characterized by specialized land use, where natural drainages like Sheep Camp Draw and Hay Draw cut through the arid flats. In the southeast, the Lost River appears as a seasonal water feature near the Poorman Range. The map provides a clear view of the intersection of military testing grounds and the distinct natural hydrology of Otero County, where public access and natural drainage patterns are shaped by federal land management.
