The White Sands Missile Range dominates this landscape along the border of Sierra and Otero Counties. This 2023 survey illustrates a high-desert environment primarily dedicated to military operations, defined by a network of specialized routes such as WSMR P Rt 17 and WSMR S Rt 316. Sparse water sources are critical features of this arid terrain, including Turner Lake and the intermittent flow of Three Rivers in the southeastern quadrant.
