2017 Map of Mexican Pass

About this map

The Owl Creek Mountains dominate this high-desert terrain along the boundary between Fremont and Hot Springs counties. This map records a landscape defined by seasonal water flow and structural ridges, where narrow passages like Mexican Pass and the rugged Arrowhead Ridge provided essential transit routes through the high country. Resource management is evident in the presence of Blue Reservoir and named water sources such as Black Rock Spring and Mexican Spring, which served as critical lifelines for livestock in an otherwise arid environment.
