2010 Map of Hockett

About this map

Sierra De Las Uvas dominates the southern landscape of this New Mexico quadrangle, providing a high-desert backdrop to the arid plains of the Uvas Valley. The area is characterized by the intersection of traditional land use and modern agricultural infrastructure, evidenced by landmarks such as the Jones Ranch and Southerland Well. To the north, the small settlement of Hockett sits near the drainage of Placitas Arroyo, which cuts through the high ground. The terrain is defined by rugged drainages including Thirtysix Canyon and Horse Canyon, showing the natural watercourses that have historically shaped movement through this region. A network of rural routes, including Las Uvas Dairy Rd and several numbered county roads, connects isolated ranching interests and water points essential for livestock in this dry environment.
