2013 Map of Playas Peak

About this map

Old Hachita sits at the eastern base of the Little Hatchet Mountains, serving as a focal point for this high-desert landscape in southwestern Grant County. The area is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Turquoise Mtn, Beacon Hill, and Playas Peak, which oversee a network of canyons such as Water Canyon and Baylor Canyon. The settlement pattern follows the trajectory of NM-9, where small outposts like Pothook, Vista, and Minero are established along the desert floor.
