The range's central ridge forms the western and eastern borders, respectively, of the two counties through much of their contact. The range is about 55 miles long from north to south and up to 18 miles wide. The highest point is McKnight Mountain. The Black Range lies almost entirely within the Gila National Forest. The Mimbres River originates from the mountain snowpack. The Mimbres Mountains, the southernmost part of the range, are usually included as part of the Black Range.
