1982 Map of Lumley Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this landscape in southern New Mexico, where the desert floor is defined by ephemeral hydrology and wind-blown geology. This orthophotomap, based on early 1970s aerial photography, provides a literal view of the White Sands dune fields and the expansive Alkali Flat. The presence of Lumley Lake, Big Salt Lake, and Little Salt Lake reveals a basin where water is seasonal and saline, leaving behind mineral crusts as it evaporates.
