About this map

The Fort Bliss Military Reservation dominates this 1948 topographic study of the Tularosa Valley floor. Compiled by the Army Map Service and later released for civil use by the U.S. Geological Survey, the map provides a look at the expansive desert landscape during the early post-war era. The terrain is marked by subtle elevation changes and natural depressions, organized by a strict grid of public land survey lines including T 22 S, T 23 S, and T 24 S. Unlike populated regions, this area is defined by its military use and lack of permanent civilian settlements, showing a network of unimproved dirt roads and trails that served the sprawling reservation before the height of the Cold War expansion.
