Title	South Pass
Creator	Mays, Kenneth R.
Contributor	Mays, Kenneth R.
Description	A geographical marvel in its own right, South Pass was a major key to the settling of the American west. It is a narrow gap in the Rocky Mountains, which allowed travelers to pass through this formidable mountain range with relative ease. At its highest point, the pass reaches an elevation of about 7,000 feet as it crosses the Continental Divide. From this point on (heading west), water drainage heads to the Pacific Ocean rather than the Atlantic.
