2023 Map of Wrye Peak SW

About this map

White Sands Missile Range dominates this high-desert landscape in Socorro County, representing a modern era of military testing and restricted access. The terrain is defined by the steep eastern elevations of the Oscura Mountains, where the land rises sharply from the basin floor. This 2023 survey documents a remote network of range roads, including WSMR S Route 3501 and WSMR P Route 13, which cross the arid flats to reach strategic water catchments. These catchments, such as Bulldog Tank, Cornet Tank, and Smith Tank, are the primary landmarks in an otherwise stark environment, marking critical points for local geography and range operations within the boundaries of t5s r5e and t6s r5e.
