2016 Map of Mariscal Mountain

About this map

Big Bend National Park dominates this desert landscape in southern Brewster County, defined by the prominent ridge of Mariscal Mountain. This remote portion of the park is characterized by seasonal watercourses like Fresno Cr and the vital water source at Solis Spring. The map documents the primitive road network used for access through this arid terrain, specifically tracing the paths of Talley Rd and Black Gap Rd. These routes represent the primary means of navigating the high-relief topography, providing an essential record for those studying the physical geography and park infrastructure of the mid-2010s. The concentration of features reflects a landscape where water and passable terrain dictate the patterns of human movement.
