1955 Map of Newman NW

About this map

The Fort Bliss Military Reservation occupies a massive footprint across this desert landscape, where the high desert floor meets the base of the Organ Mountains to the west. This mid-1950s survey reflects an era of intense military activity and early aviation, marked by the presence of Airway Beacon 9 and a standalone Tower positioned south of the reservation line. The terrain is defined by dry lake beds and catchment basins, including Old Coe Lake, and a series of livestock tanks like Scott Tank and Pit Tank that supported ranching operations even as military use expanded. High points such as Deer Hill and the Black Hills rise above the transition zone between the mountains and the low-lying basins of the Dona Ana Co Otero Co boundary.
