2010 Map of Mount Aden

About this map

Aden and Chappel represent the primary points of human settlement in this high-desert landscape of Dona Ana County. The terrain is defined by the stark transition from the White Flat basin to the volcanic profiles of Aden Mountain and the southern reaches of the West Potrillo Mountains. Transportation routes like County Rd-B008 and County Rd-C005 link together several working ranch properties, including Brass Ranch, Biggs Ranch, and the O.D. Ranch. Water remains a central concern in this environment, with features such as Maries Lake, Mason Draw, and the specifically designated RR Tank illustrating the infrastructure required to support life and transit. The presence of the Burris E Station Airport near the northern boundary indicates the ongoing modern utility of this remote stretch of the New Mexico interior during the early 21st century.
