2020 Map of White Sands SE
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
The Wsmr S Rt 220 roadway cuts across the northern edge of this high-desert basin in Otero County, marking one of the few human developments in a landscape defined by expansive topography and section-line boundaries. This area is characterized by the complex surveying grids of t22s r6e, t22s r7e, and t23s r6e, reflecting the systematic division of public lands in New Mexico. The absence of traditional settlements or infrastructure highlights the controlled nature of this terrain, where modern transit is limited to specialized military routes and the geometry of the Public Land Survey System.
