1916 Map of Point Of Sands

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

The White Sands dune field dominates this landscape, defined by the early boundaries of the White Sands National Monument and the expansive Lake Lucero to the west. Surveyed between 1912 and 1915, the map captures a network of family-owned ranching operations that once ringed the dunes, including Bairds Ranch, McNew Ranch, and Pelman Ranch. These cattle and goat operations relied on scattered water sources like San Nicolas Spring and Salt Spring at the edge of the San Andres Mountains.
