2016 Map of Amarilla Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2016

About this map

Amarilla Mountain and the surrounding high desert of Brewster County are defined by a complex network of canyons and mesas that meet the northern fringe of Big Bend National Park. The landscape shows a distinct transition from the steep elevations of Black Mesa and Clay Mtn to the flatter expanses near Lajitas International Airport. Evidence of the region's geological and mining history is clear in features like the Terlingua Sinkhole, Fossil Knobs, and the N Lone Star Mine, while the presence of Comanche Spring indicates the vital water sources that dictated settlement patterns in this arid environment.
