1955 Map of Newman NW

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Fort Bliss Military Reservation dominates this high-desert landscape in southern New Mexico, where the plains meet the eastern slopes of the Organ Mountains. This mid-century survey, based on 1954 aerial photography with later minor revisions, documents a transitional zone between the rugged peaks and the basin floor. Notable landmarks such as Deer Hill and the Black Hills rise from the desert scrub, while navigation aids like the Airway Beacon and a Tower indicate the area's importance to aviation and military infrastructure. Water resources, critical for land management in this arid environment, are marked by ephemeral features including Old Coe Lake, Scott Tank, and Pit Tank. The map also traces a long-distance Telephone line and the county boundary between Dona Ana Co and Otero Co.
