1985 Map of Aden Crater

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Aden Crater (Volcano) dominates this volcanic landscape in Doña Ana County, surrounded by the stark expanse of The Malpais. The terrain is defined by extensive lava flows and the eastern edge of the West Potrillo Mountains. Given the arid environment, human activity and ranching history are marked by essential water catchments named for early residents or landmarks, including Johnson Tank, Sue Ann Tank, and Brock Tank. To the northwest, Headquarters Hill rises above the basin, while scattered prospects indicate historical mineral exploration across this geologically active zone. The map provides a look at the desert's isolation before modern developments, where survival depended on these strategically placed tanks and the rugged volcanic topology of the basin floors.
