2021 Map of Mexican Pass

About this map

The Owl Creek Mountains dominate the northern terrain of this quadrangle, where the steep elevation of Arrowhead Ridge gives way to the strategic corridor of Mexican Pass. This high mountain pass serves as a key transit point through the range, followed closely by the unpaved track of Mexican Pass Rd. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage draws and seasonal water sources that would have been vital for livestock and early travel, including Black Rock Spring and the Blue Reservoir in the southern lowlands.
