NM, New Mexico WHITE SANDS NATIONAL MONUMENT Visitor Center Postcard.

White Sands National Park is an American national park located in the state of New Mexico and completely surrounded by the White Sands Missile Range. The park covers 145,762 acres in the Tularosa Basin, including the southern field of white sand dunes composed of gypsum crystals. This gypsum dunefield is the largest of its kind on Earth, with a depth of about 30 feet, dunes as tall as 60 feet, and about 4.5 billion short tons of gypsum sand. White Sands National Park was originally designated White Sands National Monument on January 18, 1933 by President Herbert Hoover acting under the authority of the Antiquities Act of 1906; it was redesignated as a national park by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump on December 20, 2019. The visitor center and a nearby comfort station, three ranger residences, as well as three maintenance buildings were constructed of adobe bricks as a Works Progress Administration project starting in 1936 and completed in 1938. The original eight adobe buildings and other nearby structures were designated the White Sands National Monument Historic District when they were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
