1996 Map of Bishop Cap

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

The Organ Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Doña Ana County, where sharp topographic relief meets the expansive flats of the Tularosa Basin. This area is defined by the intersection of federal lands, including the Fort Bliss Military Reservation and the Organ Mountains National Recreation Area. Local landmarks such as Bishop Cap and Pyramid Peak provide significant navigational points among the peaks. Industrial and aviation history is represented by the Hiebert Mine and an Airway Beacon marked as abandoned, suggesting the evolution of regional navigation and extraction. To the southeast, the Dona Ana Range Camp sits near the military boundary, while unidentified Ruins and scattered water features like Mosey Tank indicate the difficult reality of maintaining a presence in this arid terrain. The map captures the rugged character of Rattlesnake Ridge and deep drainages like Boulder Canyon and Finley Canyon.
