2023 Map of Red River Pass

About this map

Old Red River Pass and the surrounding high-altitude terrain define the boundary between Taos and Colfax counties in this modern survey of northern New Mexico. The landscape is a network of mountain crossings and protected wilderness areas, including the northern edge of the Wheeler Peak Wilderness and parts of the Carson National Forest. Significant drainages such as Moreno Creek, Bitter Creek, and Bobcat Creek carve through the peaks, while named meadows like Kentucky Park and Hematite Park provide small clearings in the dense forest cover.
