1995 Map of Fort Bliss NE

About this map

The Fort Bliss Military Reservation dominates this 1990s landscape on the northern edge of El Paso, where the urban corporate boundary meets expansive federal lands. The intersection of military utility and civic infrastructure is evident through the presence of the Sewage Treatment Plant and Industrial Waste Ponds protected by a network of levees. Transportation and communication arteries like Dyer Street and Ashley Road service the area, while the Plane Port and various Radio Towers highlight the region's mid-century aviation and signaling history. Local recreation is represented by the Fort Bliss Rod and Gun Club, situated along the western edge of the desert flats. This survey, revised from 1954 and 1991 photography, captures the transition of the West Texas desert into a managed industrial and military corridor.
