1971 Map of Tule Mountain

About this map

Big Bend National Park dominates this Brewster County landscape, revealing a network of water sources and transit paths vital for desert life in the early 1970s. The map highlights the intersection of natural topography and human infrastructure, centering on the Maverick Ranger Sta and a nearby corral. Significant elevations like Dogie Mountain, Tule Mountain, and Burro Mesa dictate the drainage patterns of Alamo Creek and Dawson Creek. For researchers, the presence of the Apache Canyon Trail (Pack) indicates historical routes through the high desert, while scattered water points such as Tinaja Spring, Bitter Spring, and Indian Head Spring mark the essential stopping places for travel across this arid terrain.
