1983 Map of Long Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Green Valley and the prominent Long Hills define this expanse of Brewster County, where water drainage patterns reveal a complex landscape of draws and seasonal creeks. The terrain is largely shaped by the winding course of Terlingua Creek, which receives several tributaries including Musgrave Creek, Crystal Creek, and Hale Creek. This 1983 survey shows a region largely defined by its natural geography rather than dense development, with activity centered on isolated sites like Burnt House Camp. Prospectors once traversed these hills, evidenced by scattered prospects and a singular prospect marked on the USGS sheet. A network of light-duty roads and a rugged Jeep Trail provide the primary means of navigating the arid valleys and steep slopes, while small tanks indicate the vital management of water in this remote Texas environment.
