1971 Map of Roys Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Tornillo Creek carves a central path through this arid portion of Big Bend National Park, revealing a landscape defined by dramatic geological formations and essential water sources. The Sierra Del Carmen and the towering Alto Relex dominate the eastern topography, while the Mc Kinney Hills rise to the north. Historical transit is etched into the terrain via the Old Ore Road and various pack trails that connected isolated outposts like Dugout and the Ruins found near the creek bed. Strategic water points, including Carlota Tinaja and Ernst Tinaja, provide evidence of the vital resources required for desert survival and travel. The presence of the Banta Shut-in and Estufa Canyon highlights the erosion-carved nature of the Trans-Pecos region during the early 1970s.
