2010 Map of Sulphur Pass

About this map

Sulphur Pass serves as a central waypoint in this high-desert landscape, where the terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages and isolated water sources. The map reveals a network of canyons, including Buckhorn Canyon, Domijohn Canyon, and Cottonwood Canyon, which carve through the land towards Sulphur Flats. This area is punctuated by reliable springs such as Sulphur Spring, Crocket Spring, and Quemado Spring, which were essential for cattle ranching and travel in this arid portion of New Mexico. Notable landmarks like Pilot Knob and Loma Vista provide significant navigational points against the backdrop of the Chalk Hills and Big Mountain. The arrangement of these features suggests a landscape managed for livestock, where every named spring like HorseCamp Spring or Tub Spring represents a critical resource for local land use.
