About this map

Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument occupies the northwestern corner of this high-desert landscape in Socorro County, representing a layer of protected heritage in a region defined by sparse settlement and wide-open ranges. The local geography is anchored by White Lake, a prominent water feature in an otherwise arid terrain, which likely served as a critical focal point for early residents and travelers alike. Near its shores, the White Lake Cem remains as a tangible connection to the families who established themselves in these central New Mexico basins.

Transportation through the area relies on a network of rural routes, including the military-managed WSMR S Route 41 and several county roads such as Co Road 206 and Co Road 208. The settlement of Bossey appears as a isolated named location in the southeastern section, while the intersection of Co Road 191 and Co Road 193 suggests the quiet commerce of a ranching and mission-influenced frontier during the early twenty-first century.
