1971 Map of Hen Egg Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Hen Egg Mountain and the surrounding high desert of Brewster County are defined here by a network of drainage systems and isolated outposts in the early 1970s. The landscape is carved by Terlingua Creek and several major draws, including Adobe Walls Draw and Steep Draw, which reveal a terrain where water sources like Paynes Waterhole and Ward Spring were essential for survival. Human presence is sparse, marked by the 3 Bar Ranch and Crenshaw Camp, along with a lone Landing Strip near Yellow Jacket Spring. These features, connected primarily by a web of Jeep Trails, illustrate the remote cattle-ranching and survival infrastructure required in this arid portion of West Texas before modern development arrived.
