1985 Map of Mount Aden

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The West Potrillo Mountains dominate this southwestern landscape, showing the arid terrain of New Mexico during the mid-1980s. This Department of the Interior survey illustrates a region defined by its volcanic geology and sparse water resources, centered on the small settlement of Aden and the nearby peak of Mount Aden. The presence of numerous dry basins, such as Mauries Lake, Muzzle Lake, and Daley Lake, underscores the seasonal nature of the local environment. Industrial and transport activity is marked by the Southern Pacific railroad line, which is supported by infrastructure like the RR Tank. Evidence of resource extraction is visible through several Gravel Pit and Borrow Pit locations near the main transit corridors, including the Trans Line and an extensive Pipeline. This document serves as a detailed record of the Aden Hills and the expansive White Flat, capturing the intersection of desert landforms and twentieth-century infrastructure.
