2010 Map of Arden

About this map

Arden serves as the focal point of this Irion County landscape, situated where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the Edwards Plateau. The settlement is defined by its proximity to the Middle Concho River, which winds across the southern reaches of the map. This area is characterized by a network of intermittent waterways, including the convergence of West Rocky Creek and Dry Rocky Creek to the north, alongside the winding path of Dry Creek. The presence of the Arden Cemetery near the junction of FM 853 and Co Rd 428 provides a vital point of reference for genealogists tracking early ranching families in this part of West Texas. The sparse road network, featuring Mertz Rd and Co Rd 411, reflects a rural economy shaped by the rugged hydrology of the Concho basin.
