Three Rivers courses through this arid New Mexico landscape, marking the southern reaches of this Tularosa Basin survey. The terrain is defined by its water management features and military access roads, highlighting the dual nature of land use on the edge of the White Sands Missile Range. Scattered watering points such as Crossroad Tank, Big Tank, and Turner Lake are critical landmarks in this high-desert environment. The administrative boundary between Sierra County and Otero County bisects the western half of the map. Navigation across the range is provided by a grid of specialized routes including Wsmr P Rt 17 and WSMR S Route 299, which facilitate movement between these remote basins and the higher ground beyond.
