2023 Map of Desert

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Fort Bliss dominates this arid landscape of Otero County, where military reservation boundaries meet a sparse network of desert infrastructure. A singular corridor, marked as highway 54, cuts a straight diagonal through the terrain, serving as the primary transit vein through the high desert. Evidence of specialized water management and topographical landmarks define the area's utility, specifically Alvarado Tank Number One and the geological formation known as Three Buttes. The small settlement at Alvarado sits near the southwestern edge of the quadrangle, positioned along the rail and road corridor. This survey illustrates how human activity and boundary lines like t24s r7e and t25s r8e are carved into a largely unpopulated environment, highlighting the isolation and strategic land use characteristic of this region of New Mexico.
