2023 Map of Wilson Ranch

About this map

Grumble Gulch and the surrounding arid landscape of Socorro County define this modern topographic study of the Wilson Ranch area. The terrain is marked by a complex network of internal military access roads, such as WSMR P Route 18 and WSMR S Route 3515, reflecting the region's role within the White Sands Missile Range. Water management in this high-desert environment is evidenced by scattered catchment features including Sandy Tank, O'Neal Tank, and Lake Tank. Significant elevation changes are found toward the eastern boundary near Mesa Well Canyon, where the topography rises sharply. This map provides a detailed view of the Public Land Survey System grid across multiple townships and ranges, providing a foundation for understanding land tenure and management in this high-security desert corridor.
