New Mexico Mountain Ranges Highpoints List, Revised April 16, 2020

Mountain Ranges are arranged alphabetically. The list contains 111 ranges with their highest points in New Mexico. There are 113 entries because two ranges, the Cedar Mountain Range in Luna County and the Dona Ana Mountains in Dona Ana County have two named peaks with the same elevation. Thus one entry is listed as an alternate, shown as (Alt.) for each range. Climbers wanting to be sure they have done the highest peak should do both summits.

Key to Column Headings:

County = The county the high point is in. If two are listed then it is on the county line. Range Name = The name of the mountain range. Peak or BM Name = The name of the peak as shown on the topo map. A Pxxxx ft. with the elevation of the peak if it is not named on the map. Names in parentheses are alternate unofficial names for the peak. EL,ft = Elevation in feet. EL = How the elevation is shown on the map. A BM or VABM entry indicates a brass survey monument or benchmark is at the summit. Inter. (Interpolated) means an elevation is not shown on the map so one-half the contour interval is added to the highest contour shown. Prom = The prominence value in feet for a peak where this value is known. Topo Map (7.5 min.) = The topo map the peak is on.
