About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor defines this high-desert landscape in Otero County, running north-to-south alongside the expansive White Sands Proving Grounds. At mid-century, the small settlement of Three Rivers serves as a vital point of activity near the Military Reservation Boundary, where the desert flats meet the rising slopes leading toward the Mescalero Indian Res. in the east.
