Location

The Desert Peaks are located in the south-central portion of New Mexico in the Chihuahuan Desert.

The northernmost of the Desert Peaks, the Sierra de las Uvas Mountains, are a low, volcanic range that formed over 10 million years ago. Magadalena Peak, the highest point in the range, is a lava dome that rises over 6,500 feet (1,981 m) above sea level.

The Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument contains a wide variety of vegetative communities, including black grama grasslands, mixed cactus and desert shrubs, montane shrublands with sumac, stands of mountain mahogany, oak, pinyon, and juniper, and small pockets of ponderosa pine forest. These communities sustain a range of animal species.

Hundreds of artifacts belonging to the Desert Archaic peoples and their descendents, which include the Mimbres Pueblo, Jornada Mongollon, and the Apache, have also been uncovered in the area.

This includes rock cairns that mark the boundary of the Gadsden Purchase, a shallow cave once used as a hideout by Billy the Kid, Depression-era dams, and aircraft training targets used during World War II.
