About this map

Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument occupies the northern half of this landscape, dominated by the sharp elevation of the southern Organ Mountains. The terrain transitions from the jagged heights of Peña Blanca and Pyramid Peak down toward the southern desert flats. These lower reaches are characterized by intermittent water features like Mossman Arroyo and the small watering point at Massey Tank.

Land use is defined by a significant military presence, with Fort Bliss and the Fort Bliss AAA Ranges spanning the eastern and southeastern sections. The map reveals the intersection of conservation and tactical zones, where rugged ridges like Rattlesnake Ridge overlook infrastructure such as Anzio Rd. Local landmarks like Bishop Cap and Booker Hill provide distinct navigational points within this vast, high-altitude desert environment.
