1996 Map of Hockett

About this map

Sierra de las Uvas dominates the southeastern quadrant of this desert landscape, its complex topography rising sharply above the Uvas and Valley floor. The mapping captures a network of resource management and industrial infrastructure, including a prominent Pipeline and a central Sub Sta. The settlement at Hockett serves as a focal point near the intersection of Luna and Doña Ana counties, highlighting the region's historical reliance on seasonal water management via numerous Check Dams, scattered Wells, and isolated Tanks. The presence of a Gravel Pit and numerous WT markers suggests an area shaped by both natural drainage features, like Placitas Arroyo and Horse Canyon, and human efforts to extract and control resources in an arid environment.
