2017 Map of Aragon Hill

About this map

Aragon Hill stands as the central landmark in this high-plains landscape where the borders of Union and Harding counties meet. The area is defined by a sparse network of ranch and access roads that navigate the complex topography of mesas and draws. Key transport routes include Modrall Rd and Pasamonte Rd, which trace the higher ground between drainage systems. The map captures a moment in the modern ranching era of Northeast New Mexico, showing how family-named landmarks like Romero Bros Rd and Charles Rd continue to anchor the geography. In this arid terrain, the distribution of roads like Cerrito Blanco Rd follows the natural contours, illustrating the enduring relationship between human movement and the semi-arid environment of the High Plains.
