I think you should check your data. Looking at USGS topo, that point
does look very close to the continental divide.
Usually, but I suppose not always, when you go over the divide you are
going over a pass. This one seems to be fairly flat so perhaps never
got named.
I don't use mapillary, but according to the USGS topo loaded into
qmapshack the divide crosses that road at
N35.005307° W108.081164°
I have seen a similar sign in NM that wasn't on the divide & I assumed
it was a joke put up by a local prankster, but this one seems right.
