About this map

Nine Point Mesa dominates this 1917 Brewster County survey, standing as a prominent high-desert landmark above a network of isolated ranching outposts. The landscape reveals the early 20th-century cattle economy of the Big Bend region, where named water sources like Cottonwood Spring and Alamo Spring dictated the placement of homesteads. The map traces the winding course of Chalk Draw as it cuts between the Santiago Mountains and the lower mesas.
