2023 Map of Stone Well

About this map

Fort Bliss military reservation lands dominate the eastern and northern portions of this high-desert landscape in Otero County. The terrain is defined by a network of county roads and desert tracks, including Co Rd F037 and Co Rd F067, which traverse the arid basins between mountain ranges. These routes suggest a history of range management and military access in a region where water sources are scarce and the Public Land Survey System grid provides the primary framework for navigation. The map illustrates the sprawling nature of this borderlands territory, where large-scale land management units like t23s r13e and t22s r12e organize the sparse infrastructure. This 2023 survey serves as a modern record of the durable road networks that connect the isolated wells and ranching sites of the Tularosa Basin area.
