2023 Map of Salinas Peak NW

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this high-desert landscape in central New Mexico, where the remote terrain is defined by military activity and sparse infrastructure. The map reveals a land primarily managed for federal testing, with the boundary between Socorro Co and Sierra Co cutting through the northern section. Water sources are extremely rare in this arid environment, making Anderson Tank a critical landmark for the area. Movement through this high-altitude basin is restricted to a few established paths, including Fuller Rd and the internal military roadway Wsmr P Route S, illustrating the specialized use of this territory during the early twenty-first century. The grid layout of the Public Land Survey System provides the primary structural framework for navigating this largely unsettled expanse of southern Socorro and northern Sierra counties.
