2023 Map of Hope

About this map

Hope remains the central hub of this high-desert landscape in Eddy County, its grid of streets such as Main St and Penasco St situated north of the Rio Peñasco. The town's surrounding terrain is defined by an intricate network of ephemeral watercourses, including Catclaw Draw and Paris Dainwood Draw, which channel runoff across the arid plains toward the river. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Hope South Cem and the Braddock Gravesite, reflecting the enduring legacy of early families and ranching outposts. Agricultural roads like Armstrong Rd and Peacock Rd extend from the town center, tracing the boundaries between irrigated plots and the dry creek beds of Sixteenmile Draw and Walnut Draw.
