USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Fort Bliss Military Reservation dominates this desert landscape, where civilian and military activity overlap in the shadow of Buck Mountain. In the mid-1940s, this area was undergoing significant transition, evidenced by the numerous Abandoned routes and the presence of roads Under Construction leading toward White Sands. Water management was the critical factor for both livestock and military operations, marked by a network of catchments including Parker Lake, Haystack Tanks, and Hood Tank.
