Magazine Picture of McMillen ranch in Mangas Valley

MAGAZINE PICTURE CAPTION

Winter on the McMillen ranch in Mangas Valley covers the ground with snow. The horses have come down to the water hole near the corrals for drink. Through this ranch runs the Continental Divide. Down these slopes water goes through the McMillen land toward the Pacific. Down the far slopes it runs through McMillen land to the Gulf of Mexico.

Magazine Picture of White Sands National Monument

MAGAZINE PICTURE CAPTION

The White Sands National Monument, a unique Federal playground. A 275 sq-mi dazzling desert, its sand is not ordinary silica or quartz, but crystallized gypsum. The southwest wind piles the sand up in 60-ft-high dunes, pushes it along a 30-mi front towards Alamogordo at the rate of eight inches a year.

Magazine Picture - Big Room in Carlsbad Caverns

MAGAZINE PICTURE CAPTION

The Big Room in Carlsbad Caverns looks curiously like the belly of the whale in Walt Disney's Pinocchio. Elaborate chandeliers of limestone stalactites drip from the ceilings. Tapering stalagmites rise from the floors. Much of these vast underground caves is still unexplored. The temperature throughout the caverns is an even 56 degrees the year round.

Elephant Butte Dam backs up the lower Rio Grande to form a 60-sq.-mi lake, largest body of water in the State. New Mexico has only 131 sq. mi. of natural water surface, less than any other State Water impounded by this dam irrigates farms for miles around.
