Answer - Dolphin (DHP)

This month's navaid is in the United States, along an Interstate Highway.
It’s named after a lonely place on the former Santa Fe railroad, and it shares its name with a nearby quarry.  
It's not far from where an event (which was given the same name) occurred that caused an Amtrak train to derail.

It's also a male name from mythology, and sounds similar to a metric system unit of area.

ASP (Au Sable)

This Navaid is located near a small town in the U.S., and named after that town.  It shares an identifier with that town's airport, which has no scheduled airline service.

The name is a "constructed name" of two nouns; things you might find in a rural area.

It's near a staircase, and "Sevier" turbulence is possible!
