About this map

The San Andres Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape within the restricted boundaries of the White Sands Missile Range. This modern survey illustrates a terrain defined by dramatic vertical relief and sparse water sources, such as Eagle Nest Spring and Rat Ranch Spring. The eastern edge of the quadrangle transitions into the low-lying Alkali Flat, a stark contrast to the summits of Strawberry Peak and Gunsight Peak.

Remote canyons including Cottonwood Canyon, Workman Canyon, and Ash Canyon carve through the mountain range, serving as the primary drainage features in an otherwise arid environment. This area is characterized by its military use and lack of permanent civilian settlements, with access limited by the WSMR P Route 7 and other service roads that navigate the complex topography between Black Top Mountain and the desert floor.
