2017 Map of Trinity Site
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The Trinity Site marks the historic heart of this high-desert landscape in Socorro County, representing a pivotal location in 20th-century history. The terrain is defined by the steep slopes of the Oscura Mountains to the east and a network of specialized infrastructure supporting the White Sands Missile Range. Restricted access roads, such as WSMR P Route 13, WSMR P Route 20, and WSMR S Route 341, crisscross the basin floor. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of a desert environment where water is a critical resource, noted by catchment features like Little Red Tank, Story Tank, and Story East Tank. The presence of Salt Cr in the southeastern corner further emphasizes the arid hydrology of the region.
