2013 Map of Big Hatchet Peak
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
Big Hatchet Peak dominates the southeastern quadrant of this Hidalgo County landscape, marking the highest point in a dramatic desert range. The topographical data reveals the steep, serrated ridgelines of the Big Hatchet Mountains as they overlook the surrounding desert basins. To the west, the flat expanse of the Playas Valley provides a stark contrast to the vertical relief of the peaks, while the Hachita Valley borders the range to the northeast. Between the major uplifts, Hatchet Gap serves as a natural corridor between the northern and southern basins, utilized by NM-81 as it traverses the terrain.
