Hopewell is a former unincorporated community in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, United States. It is located in the Tusas Mountains just above Hopewell Lake, approximately ½ mile south of U.S. Route 64.[1] It was named for rancher and promoter Willard S. Hopewell and had a U.S. Post Office from 1894 to 1906.
There are a number of old prospect pits in the area, as well as a snowpack measuring station[2] that was established in 1993.[3]
