Oscura Mountains terrain dominates this landscape within the boundaries of the White Sands Missile Range in Lincoln County. The map details a region where military operations and natural desert hydrology intersect, featuring essential water sources like Keller Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and the intermittent flows of Salt Creek. The settlement of Estey City stands on the eastern slopes, connected by a network of specialized access roads including WSMR S Route 327 and WSMR P Route 12. This 2010 survey records the infrastructure of the range alongside geographic markers like Kidd, reflecting the restricted use and isolation of the high desert basin during the early 21st century.
