1985 Map of Chisos Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Chisos Mountains rise as a high-altitude island within the vast arid reaches of Big Bend National Park, marking a dramatic shift in the West Texas landscape. This mid-1980s compilation shows the intricate topography of the high peaks, including Emory Peak, Casa Grande, and Toll Mountain, while tracing the winding course of the Rio Grande (also labeled Rio Bravo) as it carves through Mesa de Anguila. The map captures a moment when mercury mining history was still visible at the Mariscal Mine and the mercury-mining settlements of Terlingua and Study Butte were evolving into the regional hubs they are today.
