List of mountain peaks of New Mexico
This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks[1] of the U.S. State of New Mexico.
The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:
- The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level.[2][3] The first table below ranks the 30 highest major summits of New Mexico by elevation.
- The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings.[4][3] The second table below ranks the 30 most prominent summits of New Mexico.
- The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation.[5] The third table below ranks the 30 most isolated major summits of New Mexico.
Highest major summits
Of the highest major summits of New Mexico, Wheeler Peak exceeds 4000 meters (13,123 feet) elevation, 11 peaks exceed 3500 meters (11,483 feet), and 26 peaks exceed 3000 meters (9843 feet) elevation.
Most prominent summits
Of the most prominent summits of New Mexico, Sierra Blanca Peak is an ultra-prominent summit with more than 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence and 12 peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet) of topographic prominence.
Most isolated major summits
Of the most isolated major summits of New Mexico, Sierra Blanca Peak exceeds 200 kilometers (124.3 miles) of topographic isolation and three peaks exceed 100 kilometers (62.14 miles) of topographic isolation.

References
- This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 meters (328.1 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 meters (1640 feet) of topographic prominence. All summits in this article have at least 500 meters of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 meters (4921 feet) of topographic prominence.
- All elevations in this article include an elevation adjustment from the National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD 29) to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). For further information, please see this United States National Geodetic Survey note.
- If the elevation or prominence of a summit is calculated as a range of values, the arithmetic mean is shown.
- The topographic prominence of a summit is the topographic elevation difference between the summit and its highest or key col to a higher summit. The summit may be near its key col or quite far away. The key col for Denali in Alaska is the Isthmus of Rivas in Nicaragua, 7642 kilometers (4749 miles) away.
- The topographic isolation of a summit is the great-circle distance to its nearest point of equal elevation.
