2010 Map of White Sands SE

About this map

Tularosa Valley dominates this 2010 topographic representation of southern New Mexico, revealing a landscape defined by expansive desert basins and minimal surface water. Located in Otero County, this section of the valley floor shows the sparse infrastructure of the early 21st century, with a web of unimproved roads and 4WD tracks crossing the arid terrain. The map's contour intervals at 20 feet highlight the subtle shifts in elevation across the valley floor, providing a technical look at the area's drainage patterns and topographic relief. This specific quadrangle captures the geographic character of the region south of the main White Sands area, emphasizing the open, undeveloped stretches that characterize the borderlands between mountain ranges.
