2023 Map of Desert SE

About this map

Fort Bliss dominates the western landscape of this high desert region along the border of Otero and El Paso Counties. The terrain is defined by the significant rise of the Hueco Mountains, which create a complex network of ridges and canyons in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. This area serves as a critical junction where New Mexico and Texas meet, reflecting the vast military and borderland geography of the American Southwest. Water features are sparse but essential landmarks in this arid environment, represented by catchment areas such as Lake Tank and Flat Tank. The survey clearly delineates the township and range system, including t25s r8e and t26s r9e, which provide a vital framework for understanding land use and jurisdictional boundaries in this sparsely populated border zone.
