2020 Map of Mount Aden

About this map

The southern landscape of Doña Ana County is defined by the volcanic profiles and arid basins of the West Potrillo Mountains. This survey captures the transition from the rugged volcanic terrain in the south to the broad, flat expanses of White Flat and Mason Draw to the north. Evidence of the region’s ranching history and reliance on water management is clear through the presence of scattered catchment features such as Mouries Tank and R R Tank. In the eastern portion of the sheet, the small settlement of Aden sits near the base of Aden Mtn, serving as a waypoint in an otherwise sparsely populated territory. The northern boundary is marked by modern transportation corridors, including Frontage Rd and Gecko Ave, illustrating the intersection of remote desert geography with essential regional infrastructure.
