2020 Map of El Paso Canyon

About this map

Lincoln National Forest occupies the northern reaches of this Otero County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including El Paso Canyon and Arkansas Canyon. The northern border of Fort Bliss extends into the central and southern portions of the map, marking a significant intersection of public forest and military reservation. Settlement patterns are concentrated near the forest boundary, visible in the residential road layout featuring Mountainaire Dr, Longfellow Rd, and Pine Rd. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of Rim Tank and Womack Tank, while the Sacramento River cuts through the northeastern corner. The topography is further characterized by prominent landmarks such as Culp Peak and numerous named canyons like Wildcat Canyon and Jim Jefferies Canyon, which provide important reference points for local navigation and land use history.
