2020 Map of Culp Canyon

About this map

Fort Bliss military boundaries intersect with public lands in this 2020 map of Otero County. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are defined by the Lincoln National Forest, where the terrain is marked by significant topographical relief. Strategic water resources are scattered throughout the arid landscape, including the Upper Juniper Reservoir and Lower Juniper Reservoir near Grapevine Canyon. The drainage patterns of the region are dominated by Culp Canyon and Pipeline Canyon, which cut through the various township and range sections. Infrastructure in this area is limited, reflecting the specialized land use for military training and forestry. Further south, the presence of West Poe Tank and Middle Poe Tank indicates the vital role of managed water points in this high-desert environment.
