1948 Map of Parker Lake NE
USGS Topo · Published 1948About this map
Fort Bliss Military Reservation dominates this 1948 survey of the arid Tularosa Valley, depicting a high-desert landscape utilized for military training during the early Cold War era. The map is primarily characterized by its sparse infrastructure, reflecting the specialized use of the terrain for defense purposes. Notable man-made landmarks are few, including a Water Tower and Hackberry Well, which provide crucial water points in this open environment. This planimetric revision, compiled from 1944 aerial photography, shows the expansive grid of public land survey lines and sectional boundaries that defined the territorial organization of Otero County during this period of military expansion.
