2020 Map of Playas Peak
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Old Hachita serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape of southwestern New Mexico, where the peaks of the Little Hatchett Mountains rise above the Hachita Valley. This modern survey records a network of primitive tracks and remote outposts like Pothook, Vista, and Minero, reflecting the sparse human footprint in a region defined by its geology. The terrain is marked by significant elevations including Playas Peak, Turquoise Mtn, and Beacon Hill, while Howells Ridge and Baylor Canyon cut through the arid surface. Long-distance navigation is represented by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, which winds through the Coyote Hills and past Water Canyon, following the natural spine of the continent.
