About this map

Big Bend National Park protects a landscape of desert springs and high-relief terrain in this Brewster County survey. The hydrology of the region is anchored by scattered water sources like Glenn Spring, Chilicotal Spring, and Rice Tank, which were historically vital for transit and survival in the Chihuahuan Desert. The map reveals a network of footpaths including the Dodson Trl and Juniper Canyon Trl that navigate the slopes of the Chisos Mountains and Hayes Ridge.

Genealogists and local historians can locate remote burial sites at the Glenn Springs Cem and Rice Cem, situated near the rugged drainage of Glenn Draw. The terrain is dominated by prominent elevations such as Chilicotal Mtn and Talley Mtn, while the seasonal path of Fresno Cr carves through the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. This documentation illustrates the enduring relationship between scarce water resources and the physical landmarks of the Big Bend region.
