About Brockman Hills

The Brockman Hills are a small mountain range located in the southeastern corner of New Mexico. Spanning an area of approximately 150 square miles, the range features a rugged, arid landscape characterized by steep canyons, rocky outcrops, and sparse vegetation. The terrain is predominantly composed of sedimentary rocks, including sandstone and limestone, which have been carved by wind and water over time, creating a unique and visually striking environment. Elevations in the range vary from around 5,000 feet in the foothills to just over 8,000 feet at the highest peaks.
