1980 Map of Bassett Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Fort Bliss Mil Res (Mc Gregor Range) occupies the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking a significant military footprint across the high desert terrain. This 1980 survey captures a region defined by its vital water management infrastructure, where scattered earthen structures like Escondida Tank, Whittaker Tank, and the Camaleche Tanks sustain life in an arid environment. The map also delineates the state boundary between New Mexico and Texas, as well as the border between Otero and Hudspeth counties. Centered around the eponymous Bassett Lake, the area is networked by a modern Pipeline and specialized points of interest such as a Radio Tower, reflecting the utility and strategic importance of this desert basin during the late twentieth century.
