If one travels north out of Silver City, New Mexico toward the historic town of Pinos Altos, one will reach the continental divide at this particular spot. Like the pass on State Highway 90 south of Silver City, this pass is unnamed. (That's my buddy Dave in the photo!) 
Here is the view toward the west side of the divide. Nice view of the mountains in the background.
