Fort Bliss dominates the western portion of this Otero County landscape, situated within a vast stretch of arid terrain defined by isolated water catchments and relief drainage. The area's reliance on managed water sources is evident through the placement of Mack Tanks, Little Mack Tank, and Little Crockett Tank, which serve as critical landmarks in a region largely devoid of permanent natural surface water. These features are positioned strategically relative to the topographic draws and canyons that channel seasonal runoff, such as Mack Draw.
