1972 Map of Bird Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Del Norte Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape of Brewster County, anchored by prominent peaks like Bird Mountain and Smith Peak. This early 1970s topography reveals a terrain shaped by deep drainage systems, including Ramsey Draw, Red Haw Draw, and Bear Canyon. The northern edge of the map is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Southern Pacific railroad and a quiet Roadside Park along the highway. Evidence of land use is scattered throughout the hills, from a single Mine and various Gravel Pits to several Radio Towers positioned on high ground. The presence of multiple water sources labeled Tank and a Well underscores the necessity of water management in this arid ranching and transit corridor, while features like Ramsey Hill and Stockton Canyon provide key navigation points for local history researchers and surveyors.
