2023 Map of Prisor Well

About this map

White Sands Missile Range occupies the eastern portion of this high-desert landscape, where the land transitions from the jurisdiction of the Sierra and Doña Ana county line. The terrain is defined by the natural drainage of Lyons Draw, which cuts through the southwestern corner of the quadrangle. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a sparse network of infrastructure in this arid region, primarily consisting of rugged local connectors such as Co Rd A021 and Co Rd 23. The map serves as a contemporary record of land use at the intersection of military restricted areas and public lands, illustrating the vast, unpopulated character of south-central New Mexico.
