1985 Map of Mount Aden SW

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The West Potrillo Mountains dominate this arid landscape in Doña Ana County, reflecting the sparse, resource-driven geography of the New Mexico desert in the mid-1970s and 1980s. This survey, compiled from aerial photography, highlights a terrain defined more by geological depression and water management than by permanent settlement. Significant natural landmarks such as the expansive Dry Lake and a notable Sinkhole provide orientation across the open range. For those tracing the history of local ranching and land use, the presence of Salty Tank and Cow Tank illustrates the vital infrastructure required to support livestock in this environment. The map captures the area as a rugged expanse of public and private land interests, precisely documented at a 1:24,000 scale.
