The Oscura Mountains anchor the eastern landscape of this high-desert region in Socorro County, New Mexico. Defined by restricted military corridors, the terrain is marked by a network of service roads such as WSMR S Route 3501 and WSMR P Route 24, reflecting the area's integration into the White Sands Missile Range. Water sources are scarce, appearing only as established catchments including Bulldog Tank, Cornet Tank, and Smith Tank. These features indicate a landscape managed for specific technical or livestock utility despite its arid character. The map details the precise township and range boundaries, such as t5s r5e, providing a clear view of the cadastral divisions and topography before the mountains rise sharply in the southeast.
