2017 Map of Big Hatchet Peak
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Big Hatchet Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape in the southern bootheel of New Mexico, marking the highest point in the Big Hatchet Mountains. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts, where the steep escarpments of Zeller Peak give way to the broad alluvial plains of Playas Valley to the west and Hachita Valley to the northeast. This 2017 survey reveals the intricate drainage patterns of the Chihuahuan Desert, where runoff from high ridges has carved features like Ram Gorge and Horse Pasture Canyon.
