2017 Map of Lost River

About this map

Lost River winds through the southern reaches of this Otero County landscape, set against the backdrop of the Poorman Range. This 2017 survey documents a desert environment defined by intermittent drainage patterns and specialized infrastructure within the White Sands Missile Range. Surface water features are sparse, characterized by Sheep Camp Draw and Hay Draw, which channel seasonal runoff through the arid terrain. The map records a grid of section lines and administrative boundaries including t15s r8e and t16s r8e, intersected by specialized transit corridors such as Wsmr P Rt 9 and Wsmr P Rt 10. A Jeep Trl provides one of the few primitive access points across the northern sections, illustrating the managed nature of this restricted New Mexico landscape.
