1905 Map of Chisos Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Stroud's Ranch and the isolated settlement of Boquillas anchor this turn-of-the-century portrait of the Big Bend region along the Rio Grande. The landscape is defined by its water sources, from the evocatively named Smallpox Well and Dugout Wells to natural rock basins like Ernst Tinaja. These vital points, alongside Lindsey's Mine and the Old Smelter, reveal the tenuous human presence in a terrain dominated by the Rosillos Mountains and Chisos Mountains.
