1995 Map of Fort Wingate

Water sources are vital markers across the high desert, from the ancient namesake Bear Spring to man-made features like Lake McFerren and McGaffey Lake. The map reveals a complex intersection of military history and conservation, with the Cibola National Forest boundary meeting the depot's secure perimeter. Local landmarks such as the Ft Wingate Workcenter and several named cattle tanks like Andrews Tank illustrate the area's dual use for government operations and forest management.
