About this map

Sweetwater Cr and Salt Cr define the drainage patterns of this Sierra County landscape, which is dominated by the restricted infrastructure of the White Sands Missile Range. The presence of several established access ways, such as WSMR P Route 7 and WSMR P Route 13, reflects the ongoing military management of this high desert terrain. The lack of traditional townships or civilian settlements emphasizes the specialized role of this land in the 21st century. Good Fortune Cr cuts through the western portion of the quadrangle, where the Public Land Survey System grid still meticulously marks the underlying geography of T13S R5E and surrounding sections. Researchers will find a preserved desert environment where natural watercourses like Salt Cr are the primary landmarks amidst a network of strictly controlled service roads including WSMR S Route 300.
