Mastodon
Mastodon, New Mexico
Dona Ana County
Elevation 4,112
Mastodon is located about 8 miles west of El Paso, Texas. This town was a siding and water station along the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad. Remains include a few concrete foundations to buildings. The foundation to the water tank is only a few feet from NM Highway 9 on the north side of the road. NM 9 is what used to be the railroad bed.
This is the foundation to the Mastodon water tank. The Franklin Mountains near El Paso, Texas are seen in the background.
