1955 Map of Newman NE

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Fort Bliss Military Reservation dominates this mid-1950s terrain, covering nearly the entire quadrangle as the base expanded its training and testing footprint in the New Mexico desert. The landscape is defined by the broad expanse of the Tularosa Valley, where intricate contour lines reveal a complex network of dry washes and alluvial fans sloping away from the surrounding mountains. This specific survey was mapped by the Army Map Service and later published for civil use, providing a precise record of the topography and land use just before the height of the Cold War. While the map is devoid of permanent civilian settlements, it captures the intersection of military administration and the natural geography of Otero County, showing the vast open spaces that facilitated military operations in the region.
