About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this portion of the Tularosa Basin, where the arid landscape is defined by drainage systems and essential water catchments. The ephemeral Salt Creek winds through the center of the sheet, providing a primary hydrological feature in an area marked by high-desert terrain. Strategic water sources like Lone Cedar Tank and Upper Dog Town Tank reflect the importance of water management in this sparsely populated environment, while the namesake Mound Springs serves as a notable landmark within the military reservation boundaries. To the north, the topographic relief of Red Hill rises above the basin floor, providing a rare point of elevation amidst the desert flats. This survey illustrates the convergence of five major county lines including Socorro, Sierra, and Otero, highlighting a remote geographical nexus at the heart of New Mexico's interior.
