I would think Wilson could be tanked by cutting out some Albuquerque area heavily GOP precincts, and giving that to the southern NM district, and giving Wilson some marginal precincts from the Southern NM district. Or maybe one could maybe combine Dem Albuquerque with Dem Las Cruces, etc. Or maybe give Wilson some of the Hispanic/native American territory in the north, and give the Santa Fe district some Albuquerque GOP precincts. Sure the map would get butt ugly.

The Democrats did draw such a map in 2001 but it was not selected by the Court. I remember seeing it, the ABQ district dove deep into the state to pick up Las Cruces. I think Udall's district was essentially unchanged but the rest of the state was split west/east into a Democrat-leaning and a hyper-Republican seat.
All I can find is that the judge's name was Frank Allen. The legislature's web site only has final maps.
