About this map

Brushy Mountain rises above a desert landscape defined by deeply incised drainages and essential water-management points within Socorro County. This modern survey illustrates a remote part of the White Sands Missile Range, where seasonal water is captured in a series of named earthen tanks such as Canyon Tank, Julie Tank, and Forest Tank. The terrain is characterized by geological features like Yellow Dog Canyon and Mesa Well Canyon, which provide vital context for understanding the hydrology of this arid region. High-clearance access routes like WSMR S Route 3703 and WSMR P Route 41 form the primary infrastructure across these townships, connecting the various mesa tops and canyons that dominate the topographic relief.
