1937 Map of Agua Fria

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Agua Fria Mountain and the surrounding desert landscape of Brewster County are documented here as they appeared during a 1917 survey. The terrain is defined by a network of ephemeral drainage systems like Terlingua Creek and Musgrave Creek, which were critical to the livestock and travel patterns of the era. Evidence of early West Texas transit and ranching is scattered across the sheet, from the Alpine and Terlingua Road to remote outposts such as Hale Cabin and Adams Ranch. The presence of the Old Stage Stand in the northeast corner highlights the historical importance of these wagon routes for mail and supplies. Natural water sources were the lifeblood of this region, marked by landmarks like Agua Fria Spring, Chicosa Waterhole, and Dewees Tank, which dictated the placement of camps and settlements like Burnt House Camp.
