1955 Map of Newman

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Fort Bliss Military Reservation dominates this mid-century desert landscape at the border of New Mexico and Texas. The terrain of the Tularosa Valley is defined by a sparse network of military and transportation infrastructure, including a Landing Strip In Road and a Meteorological Station near the northern boundary. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a straight diagonal across the basin, serving as a primary transit corridor through this arid environment. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the small settlement of Newman sits at the junction of the state line and the railroad, providing a rare point of habitation. The presence of Ruins and scattered Well sites highlights the challenges of settlement and the military's use of this expansive desert reach for training and observation during the mid-1950s.
