1955 Map of Organ Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Organ Peak and the high spires of the Organ Mountains dominate this mid-century topographic survey of the New Mexico landscape. The era’s intersection of tourism, industry, and defense is visible in the presence of Hayner Resort and the nearby Modoc Mine, while the vast eastern portion of the sheet is defined by the Fort Bliss Military Reservation and the White Sands Proving Ground. These military boundaries hem in the dramatic rock formations of The Needles and The Narrows, illustrating how post-war federal land use shaped the access and development of this high-desert terrain.
