1982 Map of Oscura Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Oscura Mountains terrain dominates this 1982 survey, where the high-altitude peaks and ridgelines of Socorro and Lincoln counties meet the restricted boundaries of the White Sands Missile Range. The landscape is defined by its critical water sources, essential for survival in this arid environment, including named features like Oak Spring, Hog Sap Spring, and the Dillard-Whitmore Well. This era reflects a highly controlled desert landscape, indicated by the presence of a Lookout Tower near Bug Peak and a Heliport to the south. The transition from the steep elevation of Oscura Peak and Workman Ridge down into the canyon floors like Whitmore Canyon illustrates the isolation of this military-monitored territory in central New Mexico.
