About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates the landscape of this 1982 edition, revealing a high-desert environment defined by military utility and sparse water resources. The terrain is a complex grid of county lines where Lincoln, Otero, Socorro, and Sierra Counties meet. This territory, largely managed for defense purposes, contains isolated landmarks like Hayfield Target and Hayfield Well. Water management is critical in this arid basin, as evidenced by naming conventions such as Red Tank, Lone Cedar Tank, and Upper Dog Town Tank. These catchment points, alongside the natural flow of Mound Springs, provide a vital record of land use before the modern era. The topography rises toward Red Hill in the north, while infrastructure is limited to light-duty roads and industrial markings like a Gravel Pit.
