About this map

The Tularosa Valley landscape is defined by the extensive footprint of the White Sands Missile Range, which covers much of this high-desert basin. The topography remains relatively flat throughout the valley floor, broken only by the rising foothills of the Jarilla Mountains in the southeastern corner. This terrain is characteristic of the restricted military lands in southern New Mexico, where sparse infrastructure like Co Road A011 and Wsmr S Route 252 provide the primary transit corridors. Isolated water features such as North Tank highlight the arid nature of the region, marking essential collection points for ranching or military operations that have long shared this desert environment.
