2023 Map of White Sands SE

About this map

White Sands Missile Range and Fort Bliss dominate this modern landscape in Otero County, where restricted military terrain meets the arid expanse of southern New Mexico. This survey reflects the enduring strategic importance of the Tularosa Basin, characterized by expansive government reservations that strictly limit public access. The map reveals the Public Land Survey System grid including t22s r6e and t23s r7e, illustrating how the land is administratively divided across the high desert. With no civilian settlements or schools printed, the map underscores the isolation of these vast defense installations and the preservation of open desert terrain for specialized military operations in the 21st century.
