1965 Map of Surveyors Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Fort Bliss Military Reservation (Mc Gregor Missile Range) dominates the southern portion of this high-altitude landscape, marking a transition from public lands into restricted defense territory during the mid-1960s. To the north, the protected timberlands of the Lincoln National Forest cover the ridges and deep drainages. The Sacramento River carves through the center of the terrain, joined by a complex network of canyons including Surveyors Canyon, East McAfee Canyon, and Wayland Canyon. This rugged geography is defined by its water management features, where artificial structures like Crest Garden Tank, Kimmons Tank, and Stevens Lake provide essential collection points in an arid environment. Near Chatfield Peak, the land is deeply etched by Chatfield Canyon, reflecting a wilderness area utilized for both military testing and national forest conservation.
