1971 Map of Amarilla Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The rugged quicksilver mining district of the Trans-Pecos comes into focus in this 1971 survey of the Big Bend region. Centered on the Lone Star Mine and the Mariposa Mine, the map documents an arid landscape defined by deep structural features like the Terlingua Sinkhole and the high vantage of Amarilla Mountain. The presence of the Colquitt-Tigner Mine and scattered pits near California Hill illustrates the intense geological prospecting that defined Brewster County's early industrial history.
