The '''Cedar Mountain Range''' is a short 20
The range lies in the northwest [[Chihuahuan Desert]] and the extreme northwest end of the range lies in southeast [[Grant County, New Mexico|Grant County]]. It is here that the [[Continental Divide of the Americas]] crosses the range, turns northwest, then west, and south at the north perimeter of the north-south [[Playas Valley]]. The continental divide continues south into Mexico on the western perimeter of the Playas Valley, through three mountain ranges, the [[Pyramid Mountains|Pyramid]], [[Animas Mountains|Animas]], and [[San Luis Mountains (New Mexico)]].
Line 82 ⟶ 83:
The Cedar Mountain Range is a northwest by southeast trending range, and longer, than wide. The northwest end contains Deer Mountain, {{convert|5494|ft|m|0}}, with an excursion of the continental divide around the [[arroyo (creek)|wash]] that drains the northeast. The [[water divide]] continues through Deer Mountain and heads northwest on a circuitous route around the northern perimeter and water divide of the north Playas Valley.
Three other larger peaks dot the range: the center contains Hat Top Mountain, {{convert|5586|ft|m|0}} at north-center. Old Baldy, at {{convert|5473|ft|m|0}} is adjacent and southeast. The highest peak is at the extreme southeast end of the Cedar Mountain Range, Flying W Mountain, {{convert|6217|ft|m|0}},<ref>New Mexico, DeLorme Atlas & Gazetteer, p. 52-53.</ref> and located at {{Coord|31.922041|N|108.094759|W|type:mountain_region:US|name=Flying W Mountain}}.<ref>Flying W Mountain Summit, mountainzone.
