2017 Map of Bennett Mountain

About this map

Bennett Mountain and the high ridges of the San Andres Mountains dominate this arid landscape, which is marked by the complex road networks of a military reservation. This 2017 survey shows how water dictates the geography of the high desert, with perennial points like San Nicolas Spring, San Juan Spring, and Red Spring tucked into the canyons. The eastern half of the map transitions into a flat basin where a precise grid of service roads, including Wsmr P RT 7 and Wsmr S RT 270, supports local operations. Evidence of land management and water storage is visible at the Thompson Reservoir, while the southern reaches are defined by the steep descent into Bear Canyon near Black Mtn.
