1980 Map of Owl Tank Canyon West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Fort Bliss Military Reservation (Mc Gregor Range) dominates this high-desert landscape in Otero County, as it appeared in the mid-1970s. This specific sector is defined by its critical water infrastructure, essential for both military operations and local ranching history. A network of tanks is scattered across the terrain, including Tinney Tank and Broule Tank in the north, and the Foster Ranch Tanks to the south. These artificial water catchments indicate the necessity of water management in a region where natural features like Castner Draw and Owl Tank Canyon provide the primary drainage. The presence of Campbell Tank and Castner Tanks suggests the strategic importance of this area for logistics and range training within the broader military training complex of southern New Mexico.
