2010 Map of Aragon Hill

About this map

Aragon Hill serves as a prominent landmark in this sparsely settled corner of Union County, providing a high-ground perspective over the surrounding high plains. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Ute Creek, which carves a path through the western portion of the quadrangle. A system of rural thoroughfares, including County Hwy C-013 and County Road Z-2, connects the isolated ranchlands and farmsteads. This early 21st-century survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a region where the vast, open terrain remains largely untouched by modern urbanization, maintaining its character as a quiet agricultural and ranching frontier. The placement of cattle tanks and remote road junctions like County Hwy C-015 highlights the logistical network required to manage this expansive New Mexico territory.
