1971 Map of Reed Camp

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Rio Grande carves a sharp, winding international boundary through this remote desert landscape within Big Bend National Park. This 1971 survey illustrates a territory of isolated riverfront outposts and rugged topography, where the massive Chisos Mountains and the distinctive Punta De La Sierra dominate the northern skyline. The river's edge is marked by a series of small, significant settlements and camps including Johnson Ranch, which features a Cem and Ruins, as well as Reed Camp and Woodsons. These locations, along with Jewels Camp and Pettits, hint at the lived history of the borderlands before modern park management fully transitioned the area to wilderness. Connectivity is limited to ancient paths like the Dominguez Spring Trail, which provides access to vital water sources such as Dominguez Spring in an otherwise arid terrain.
