2017 Map of White Sands NE

About this map

Military infrastructure dominates this landscape in southern New Mexico, where an intricate network of specialized routes facilitates operations across the desert floor. The map highlights a strictly organized grid of access roads, most notably Wsmr P Rt 2 and Wsmr P Rt 15, which serve as primary arteries through this high-altitude basin. These corridors, along with secondary paths like Wsmr S Rt 202 and Wsmr S Rt 238, underscore the area's ongoing role in government testing and range management. The absence of traditional civilian towns or agricultural names points to the restricted nature of the terrain, characterized by survey townships such as t22s r6e and t21s r7e. This 2017 survey provides a precise accounting of the contemporary road classifications and geographic boundaries within this active military zone.
