1983 Map of Packsaddle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Packsaddle Mountain and Panther Mountain dominate this Chihuahuan Desert landscape in Brewster County, Texas, as it appeared in the mid-1970s and early 1980s. The region is defined by ephemeral drainage systems like Terlingua Creek, Alamo de Cesario Cr, and Nine Point Draw, which cut through the arid terrain. While human infrastructure is sparse, the map documents a Mine on the southern slopes of Packsaddle Mountain and a remote Landing Strip to the north, suggesting the importance of aviation for reaching these isolated ranchlands and geologic sites. Vital water sources are specifically identified, including the Cheosa Waterhole and a solitary Water Tank, highlighting the essential landmarks for navigation and survival in this high-elevation desert environment east of the Christmas Mountains.
