About this map

Big Bend National Park serves as the focal point of this 1971 survey, centered on the dramatic geological heart of the Chisos Mountains. The high-altitude topography is defined by prominent summits such as Casa Grande Peak, Pulliam Peak, and Lost Mine Peak, which encircle the central depression known as The Basin. Infrastructure here is concentrated around visitor services, including the Chisos Mountain Lodge, a Campground, and a unique Outdoor Theater.
