2023 Map of Hockett

About this map

Hockett serves as a central junction point in this high-desert landscape where the borders of Sierra, Luna, and Doña Ana counties converge. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the wide drainage of Placitas Arroyo toward the southern heights of the Sierra de las Uvas. This 2023 survey illustrates a modern network of ranching and rural access roads, such as Las Uvas Diary Rd and Hilburn Dr, which cut across the geological features of Horse Canyon and Thirtysix Canyon. The map provides a clear look at the Public Land Survey System grid, including townships like t20s r4w, showing how property and infrastructure are managed in the arid New Mexico interior. The sparse settlement pattern emphasizes the role of named canyons and arroyos as the primary landmarks for navigation and land use in this part of the state.
