1983 Map of Packsaddle Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Packsaddle Mountain dominates this Brewster County landscape, its distinctive profile rising above a network of desert drainages and isolation. The land's rugged character is defined by landmarks like Panther Mountain and the Red Bluff, while life in this arid region was historically anchored to water sources such as the Cheosa Waterhole, Terlingua Creek, and the Alamo de Cesario Cr. Evidence of human activity is sparse but significant, shown through a solitary Mine near the base of the central peak and two clear Landing Strips, indicating the remote nature of the terrain where air travel provided essential access. The presence of a Water Tank and Nine Point Draw further emphasizes the importance of managing scarce resources in the High Desert during the late twentieth century.
