1980 Map of Stone Well

About this map

Fort Bliss Military Reservation (Mcgregor Range) dominates this high-desert terrain in Otero County, illustrating the significant land use dedicated to military training and missile testing in southern New Mexico during the late twentieth century. The landscape is defined by its sparse water resources, which were critical for ranching operations that predated or coexisted with the military presence. Important water points such as Stone Well, Antelope Well, and Cockleburr Tank are scattered across the quadrangle, serving as the primary landmarks in an otherwise open expanse. The presence of these named wells and tanks, alongside Sand Tank and Lake Tank, highlights the precarious nature of water management in this arid environment, where every named source represented a vital hub for movement and survival.
