reaching highways on the
Pacific coast. From Canada del Macho these roads pass south through the village of Santa Efigenia (24.993033° -106.503020°), then south to a point (24.948837° -106.516770°), and then west to Llano Blanco (24.953691° -106.601568°), south through El Bajio (24.934765° -106.625653°) and La Huerta (24.861016° -106.610385°), to a fork (24.822571° -106.632597°) where the road turns west and descends down the mountain to Chacala, Durango (24.811031 -106.738821) and southwest to Bayosa, Durango (24.771525 -106.766086) and southwest through Mezcaltitan, Sinaloa (24.681667 -106.814444) until intersection with a paved road (24.624593 -106.827472) running between Culliacan and Cosala, Sinaloa via Presa El Comodero.
297:-106.329167, and then extends past a turn off (at 25.142227 -106.452685) of a rough, dusty ungraded side road to Topia, Durango, after which the paved and graded road continues to the crest of the Sierra Madre Occidental, and then continues down the west side of the range, passing a side road to Canelas, Durango at 25.105064 -106.554766, and continues on for 24 km (15 mi) before coming to a dead end. This improved and paved extension of MJH 36 has been extended periodically in the last 10 years. It terminates at the remote village of La Angostura, beyond
252:. The road from Fed. 36 to Topia is a narrow dirt road. The paved and graded road system continues past that intersection and has been extended year by year in a westward direction to the crest of the Sierra Madre Occidental and down the western slope of the Sierras, following the drainage of the Topia River, past Canelas, Durango and then on to the end of construction in a dead end about 24 km. beyond Canelas at the remote village of La Angostura. This village just happens to be the home of

268:. It is unknown whether there will be further road construction beyond La Angostura to Tamazula de Victoria in the coming years though that would be feasible from an engineering standpoint. Until the completion of the highway construction an alternative route which is ungraded branches off the paved road on the crest of the mountains and continues on to highways in the state of Sinaloa. Those routes are all noted below.
329:. The road from Fed. 36 to Topia is a narrow dirt road. Although Topia is sometimes listed as the western terminus of Fed. 36, the pavement and improved construction for Fed. 36 does NOT extend to Topia, and in fact goes far beyond this intersection to the crest of the Sierra Madre Occidental and then goes down the west side, to an unfinished dead end some 24 km (15 mi) beyond
288:. The intersection of Fed. 36 with Fed. 23 is at 25.1233581 -105.4772634, a point 10 km north of Santiago Papasquiero and 42 km south of Tepehuanes. This intersection is 5 km. south of Las Herreras, Durango so this town may is referred to as the eastern terminus of the highway.
392:
About 7 km (4.3 mi) after the paved highway passes through the small community of La Cañada del Macho (25.118271, -106.472833), a unpaved and unimproved road branches off (at 25.072852 -106.483743) the pavement and continues down off the western slope of the Sierra Madre
Occidental finally

After passing through the small village of La Canada del Macho, Durango (25.11871 -106.472833) on the crest of the Sierra Madre
Occidental, the paved road descends some 20 km (12 mi) to a turn off (at 25.104064 -106.554766) to the village of Canelas. From this point a paved road continues
248:. However, the paved and graded portion of the road does not go to Topia. Along the graded and paved road at a point about 96 km (60 mi) from Santiago de Papasquiaro a narrow and ungraded road leads off of Fed. 36 (at 25.142227 -106.452685) and extends 28 km (17 mi) to

From the intersection with Fed. 23, Fed. 36 climbs up into a chain of coastal mountains to the west. The graded and paved road passes first through
Cienega de Salpica el Agua, Durango, at 25.026032 -105.760208, and then Cienega de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, Durango at 25.065278
368:
From the
Canales turn off (at 25.104064 -106.554766), a graded and partially paved road continues on down the west side of the Sierra Madre Occidental for about 25 km (16 mi) to the small community of Angostura, where the graded road ends at 25.08391 -106.686261.
384:, it is uncertain whether there is any plan to construct the road down to Tamazula de Victoria, Durango, which lies only 32 km (20 mi) to the west. If completed this road would then be another reliable road crossing the Sierra Madre Occidental.
