1955 Map of Davies Tank

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Organ Mountains dominate the western edge of this mid-century survey, casting long shadows across the high desert floor. This terrain is defined by its transition from the steep, carved ridges of Johnson Canyon and Glendale Canyon to the wide alluvial fans that slope toward the Fort Bliss Military Reservation. The map captures a landscape heavily utilized for defense and aviation during the Cold War era, centered on the White Sands Proving Ground and the Condron Air Force Auxiliary Field.
