2017 Map of Hondo Reservoir

About this map

Rio Hondo and its associated water management infrastructure define this Chaves County landscape, where the Hondo Reservoir Diversion Canal and Outlet Canal redirect flow toward the Hondo Reservoir. The terrain is marked by significant drainages including Blackwater Draw, Eightmile Draw, and the seasonal Rocky Arroyo to the south. Sixmile Hill provides a primary topographic point of reference in an area dominated by dry draws and water storage features like Duncan Tank. Local transit is facilitated by a network of rural roads such as Two Rivers Dam Rd and Old Hondo Channel Rd, reflecting the regional focus on irrigation and flood control systems vital to this arid New Mexico environment.
