The Continental Divide traverses the southern foothills of the Luera Mountains from west-to-east then turns south into the Black Range.

The Luera Mountains are an approximately 15 mi circular range, with Luera Peak in the center north; a small ridgeline goes southeast from the peak with an adjacent creek and canyon.

To the southeast of the Luera Mountains between the northwest perimeter of the Black Range, New Mexico State Road 163 crosses the Continental Divide and the National Scenic Trail.

Road 163 connects from to the east, New Mexico State Road 52 and the adjacent Cibola National Forest to Forest Road 30 at the southwest, connecting the Gila Wilderness and Apache Creek, NM, while paralleling the Continental Divide, (which traverses around the west and partial northwest of the Plains of San Agustin).
