Ocate Peak
Ocate Peak or the older name Ocate Crater is a volcano in Mora County, northeastern New Mexico. It was a landmark on the old Santa Fe Trail before the development of the Cimarron Cutoff. Ocate Peak is located just southeast of the community of Ocate, and State Road 120 passes just north of it. Originally, due to the heightened chance of meeting marauding Indians on the plains, the Santa Fe Trail kept as close to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains as possible, passing through Rayado to the community of Ocate and passing west of Ocate Peak. After Fort Union was established in 1851, the trail took the easier route east of Ocate Peak, but still west of thTurkey Mountains ''Ocote'' is a Nahuatl Nahuatl (; ), Aztec, or Mexicano is a language or, by some definitions, a group of languages of the Uto-Aztecan language family.

Ocate Volcanic Field
The Ocate volcanic field (also known as the Mora volcanic field) is a monogenetic volcanic field that extends from the southern Cimarron Range of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the vicinity of Wagon Mound, New Mexico. The town of Wagon Mound is named after The Wagon Mound, a prominent landmark that is a highly eroded volcanic neck of the volcanic field. Description About 8.12 million years ago, basaltic volcanoes began to erupt in the Ocate area. Fourteen eruptive pulses have been identified using Ar-Ar dating, with the most recent taking place around 0.67 to 0.95 Mya. The lavas erupted in the field are mostly alkali olivine basalt or transitional olivine basalt, with smaller quantities of basaltic andesites, olivine andesites, and dacites. The basaltic lavas were generated from heterogeneous source regions in the mantle, while the more silica-rich andesites and dacites formed from fractional crystallization of basaltic magma and mixing with silica-rich magma from partial ...
