I need to leave it as Bragg since that's how people know it. Nowhere does the quiz say that these are current forts or names.

Bragg is now Liberty.

Tucson is not "near" the Mexican border. It's 70+ miles away.

Maybe Boulder Dam should be accepted. That's what is called in 1936. It became Hoover Dam officially in 1947.
