1996 Map of Mount Aden

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

The West Potrillo Mountains dominate the southern half of this landscape, rising above the surrounding Chihuahuan Desert terrain of Doña Ana County. This 1996 photoinspection reflects a sparsely populated area defined by volcanic features and cattle ranching, where isolated peaks like Mount Aden and the prominent Cinder Cone stand as landmarks. The presence of the Lazy E Ranch and X-7 Ranch highlights the ongoing pastoral use of the land, supported by water features such as Mauries Tank and the seasonal Muzzle Lake. Linear infrastructure, including a pipeline and power lines, cuts across the northern desert floor alongside Mason Draw. The small settlement at Aden and the railroad-related R R Tank indicate the vital transport corridor that skirted the northern edge of the volcanic field, connecting the remote hills to the broader regional economy.
