White Sands Missile Range occupies the southeastern corner of this Doña Ana County landscape, where the high desert terrain meets restricted military territory. The map is defined by a sparse but essential network of water catchments including Taylor Tank, White Bottom Tank, and Shoellar Tank, which support the arid environment. A series of long, straight roads like Taylor Well Rd and N Jornada Rd cross the landscape, while the northern reaches feature the broad Ragged Tank Flat. In the southern sections, the development of rural access is more pronounced with named residential corridors such as Singletree and Leebarry Ln branching off Holman Rd. The presence of ephemeral features like Bear Creek indicates the natural drainage patterns that flow toward the basin floor.
