1981 Map of Tularosa

About this map

Tularosa sits at the eastern edge of a dramatic high-desert landscape where the San Andres Mountains and Chalk Hills rise sharply above the basin floor. This 1981 survey documents the extensive geography of the White Sands Missile Range, which dominates the central plains of the Tularosa Valley. The map details the complex natural hydrology and geology of the area, featuring the sprawling Alkali Flat, White Sands dune fields, and numerous drainage systems like Bitter Creek and Tularosa Creek that vanish into the arid basin.
