The San Augustin Mountains are only about an 8 miles (13 km) long range, trending slightly northeast.

The southern border is San Augustin Pass, where U.S. Route 70 goes from Las Cruces and Organ and turns northeast through White Sands to meet Alamogordo.

The high Black Mountain section is on the southeast of Bear Canyon and is separated northeast from the ridgeline of the San Augustins.

The ridgeline of the San Augustin Mountains has the range's highpoint, Bear Peak, 7,087 feet (2,160 m)[1] at the north, and the south is terminated by San Augustin Peak, at 7,030 feet (2,143 m).
