About this map

Oscura Mountains terrain dominates this high-desert landscape along the boundary of Socorro and Lincoln Counties. Much of the territory falls within the White Sands Missile Range, a designation that has preserved the land's rugged character while limiting modern development. A significant historical anchor on the eastern edge is the Estey City (Site), once a copper mining center, now accompanied by scattered Ruins and multiple mining Prospects. The scarcity of water in this arid environment is evident by the reliance on specific points like Kidd and Duffy Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and the uniquely named Palomas Moonshine Windmill. These features, along with Scholle Well, trace a history of ranching and survival in a difficult environment where access was primarily dictated by the location of reliable springs and man-made wells.
