1982 Map of Whitmire Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Continental Divide runs directly through this portion of the high-elevation Animas Mountains, marking a primary hydrological boundary in the southwestern corner of New Mexico. Recorded as a provisional edition in the early 1980s, the landscape is defined by its isolation and lack of permanent settlements, focused instead on the topographical transit through Whitmire Pass. The map highlights a series of drainages, including Whitmire Creek and Willow Creek, which carve through the steep terrain. Scattered mineral interests are evident through labels for several Prospects and a singular Prospect located near the peaks. Access to this remote environment is primarily restricted to a Jeep Trail, illustrating the limited development and focus on resource exploration rather than habitation during this era.
