1981 Map of Three Rivers NW

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Malpais dominates this landscape, showing the stark intersection of volcanic geology and mid-century military infrastructure. This orthophotomap, based on early 1970s aerial photography, reveals the dark, irregular texture of Lava flows as they spill across the basin toward the Phillips Hills. The vast majority of the terrain falls within the White Sands Missile Range, a restricted area where remote technical installations like the Oscura Range Center and the D B Site Radio Tower were established far from civilian settlements.
