About this map

Water management dominates this arid basin where the Tularosa Valley meets the San Andres Mountains. Surveyed by Max J. Gleissner and his team in the early 1940s, the map illustrates a network of essential desert resources, ranging from Alamo Spr and Texas Canyon Spr in the western highlands to man-made structures like Parker Lake and Drift Fence Well on the flats. The terrain transitions from the heights of Black Mountain and Antelope Hill down into the broad valley, where the county line separates Dona Ana and Otero.
