The White Sands Missile Range dominates this landscape within the San Andres Mountains, reflecting the specialized land use that has defined this part of New Mexico for decades. This high-elevation terrain is centered on Salinas Peak and its surrounding summits, including White Mine Peak, Ladybug Peak, and Silver Top Mountain. The presence of numerous water sources such as Indian Wells, Eagle Pass Spring, and Dripping Spring highlights the critical infrastructure required for survival and operations in this arid environment.
