Polar Map Mask

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to make a polar map that zooms in on an area that does not
include the south pole and displays lat/lon gridlines and labels.

Using gsn_csm_map_polar and mpLimitMode=Angles I'm able to generate a mask
but when I add gridlines they converge to a point at the top of the graph
(which is not the pole, my center latitude), I can't get them to be
labeled, and I get errors as follows:
fatal:NhlCvtStringToEnum: Unable to convert string "missing" to requested
type
warning:Error retrieving resource amJust from args - Ignoring Arg
fatal:NhlCvtStringToEnum: Unable to convert string "missing" to requested
type
warning:Error retrieving resource amSide from args - Ignoring Arg
(if I add in the resources amJust and amSide I also get errors)

Using gsn_csm_map with a stereographic projection and mpLimitMode=Angles
I'm again able to generate a mask but no gridlines or lat/lon labels.

I'm currently trying to add labels to a mask with a LambertConformal
projection, though this is not my preferred projection.

Any suggestions? In my perusal of the map examples I haven't found any that
show a zoomed in mask of a polar region [that doesn't include the pole].

Thanks!
