White Sands Missile Range occupies the vast majority of this Socorro County landscape, reflecting the long-standing military presence in the High Desert during the early 21st century. The map depicts a network of specialized routes, including WSMR P Route 18 and WSMR S Route 3517, which provide access through the restricted terrain. In this arid environment, human activity and livestock management are anchored to water catchments like Lake Tank, Sandy Tank, and O'Neal Tank. The topography is marked by features such as Grumble Gulch, while the presence of Wilson Ranch and the J Henry site indicates the region's enduring connection to ranching even within the boundaries of the military installation.
