These geographical features, along with the elevated Noble Pass and the distinctive formation of Gypsum Ridge, highlight the complex topography used for military maneuvers. The presence of the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center indicates the strategic importance of this region, where natural landforms like deep canyons and ridges provide a specialized environment for training operations.
