About this map

Mount Aden stands as a prominent landmark in the southern reaches of Doña Ana County, marking a high point in a landscape defined by volcanic landforms and expansive basins. This 2013 survey illustrates a corner of the West Potrillo Mountains where the high desert terrain transitions between rugged peaks and the broad, level expanse of White Flat. The presence of Mauries Tank and R R Tank highlights the historical and ongoing importance of managed water sources in this arid environment, often placed to support livestock or earlier railroad operations.

Transportation corridors like CO Road B008 and the Interstate 10 corridor to the north connect this isolated area to the broader region. The small settlement area of Chappel and the drainage of Mason Draw further define the local geography, showing how infrastructure and natural features intersect in the New Mexico desert. This map provides a detailed view of the township and range divisions, such as t25s r3w, which underpin land ownership and management in the West Potrillo region.
