2017 Map of Sulphur Pass

About this map

San Andres Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Sierra County, where intricate drainage patterns and water resources reveal a history of land management. The map details a network of canyons and gaps, including Woolf Gap, Watson Gap, and Sulphur Pass, which provide natural passage through the high ground. The presence of numerous named water sources, such as Woolf Spring, Lower Sulphur Spring, and Crocket Spring, highlights the critical importance of water in this arid environment. Man-made catchments like Richard Tank, Taylor Tank, and the family-named Ben Taylor Tank suggest a legacy of ranching operations that utilized the Sulphur Flats and surrounding foothills. Notable landmarks like Pilot Knob and Big Mtn serve as distinct navigational points within the complex topography of Sulphur Canyon and Workman Canyon.
