About this map

Fort Bliss covers a significant portion of this landscape along the border of Doña Ana and Otero Counties, characterizing the region as a high-desert military reservation. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of the Organ Mountains in the northwest, transitioning into the Black Hills and Deer Hill. Several drainage patterns, including Oak Canyon, suggest the seasonal movement of water across the arid plains toward catchment points like Pit Tank. The presence of Old Coe Lake in the northeast provides a specific point of interest for those studying the hydrology of the Tularosa Basin. This modern survey reflects the continued use of the land for defense and training purposes, with infrastructure like War Rd cutting through the western sections of the quadrangle.
