2017 Map of Mount Aden SW

About this map

The West Potrillo Mountains dominate the southeastern portion of this landscape, rising above the arid Chihuahuan Desert terrain of Doña Ana County. This high-altitude perspective of the southern New Mexico ranchlands is defined by a series of volcanic peaks and distinct depressions. Water sources are scarce, marked only by remote man-made catchments like Sally Tank and Cow Tank, which serve the livestock of the surrounding basin. This specific area is organized under the Public Land Survey System as sections within t25s r4w, t25s r3w, t26s r4w, and t26s r3w. The presence of Co Rd B001 in the northeast corner represents one of the few improved routes providing access to this isolated volcanic field, used primarily by local ranchers and those traversing the desert west of the Mesilla Valley.
