2010 Map of Antelope Pass

About this map

Antelope Pass serves as a critical corridor between the Animas Valley and the San Simon Valley, cutting through the north-south axis of the Peloncillo Mountains. This southwestern New Mexico landscape is defined by its industrial and ranching heritage, featuring several family-named locations such as the Henderson Ranch, Robinson Ranch, and the Kukendall Prop. at the edge of the mountains. Economic activity is visible through the presence of the Pratt Fire Clay Quarry and the Purple Spar Prospect, indicating the region's mineral potential. The topography is shaped by numerous seasonal watercourses, including Long Canyon and Basin Canyon, which drain into the surrounding basins. The presence of Gas Line RD and several county routes highlights the infrastructure necessary for maintaining these remote operations and providing access across the pass near Pratt.
