1971 Map of Smoky Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Rio Grande carves a winding path through this desert landscape, forming the international boundary between the United States and Mexico. This portion of Big Bend National Park is defined by the sharp elevations of Triangulation Station Mountain and the craggy outcrops of the Sierra de Chino. While the area is dominated by natural landforms like Black Dike, evidence of human activity is scattered throughout the river valley. Sparse settlements and points of interest include Buenos Aires and the former Smoky Creek Site, alongside various unmarked ruins and a lone Cem near the riverbank. A series of Pack Trails and a Gaging Sta underscore the history of transport and water management in this remote stretch of Brewster County during the early 1970s.
