About this map

Fort Bliss Military Reservation dominates this 1990s landscape in El Paso County, revealing a terrain defined by high-desert infrastructure and military utility. The map documents a network of critical water resources essential for this arid environment, including Nations East Well, the Joint Well, and several catchment features such as Tiger Tank and Corral Tank. These points of interest, alongside several Prospects and designated Pipelines, reflect the logistical challenges of maintaining a large-scale military installation in the West Texas desert.

Topography is sharply defined toward the southeast by the rising elevations of San Juan Hill, which stands in contrast to the broader plains of the reservation. The map effectively captures the intersection of industrial development and geological isolation, marking the Military Reservation Boundary where these government lands meet the surrounding desert. This survey provides an exact record of the area's developed footprint just before the turn of the twenty-first century.
