2019 Map of Tule Mountain

About this map

Big Bend National Park dominates this desert landscape, characterized by isolated peaks and seasonal drainage systems. The terrain is anchored by the prominent Tule Mtn in the south and the Chisos Mountains rising to the east, with Burro Mesa providing a distinct elevated plateau between them. Water sources, vital in this arid environment, are marked by locations like Bitter Spring, Indian Head Spring, and Gano Springs, which likely served as critical landmarks for early travelers and inhabitants. Transport through this portion of the Trans-Pecos is defined by the Panther Junction Rd and the Ross Maxwell Scenic Dr, routes that trace the natural contours of the land. Landmarks such as The Sphinx and Maverick Mtn stand as notable navigational points, while deep incisions like Apache Canyon and various arroyos including Rough Run and Alamo Cr illustrate the region's complex drainage patterns.
