1971 Map of Tule Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Big Bend National Park defines this arid landscape, documented here just as modern wilderness management was taking firm hold in Brewster County. The presence of the Maverick Ranger Sta near the western boundary and the Apache Canyon Trail (Pack) to the southeast suggests a topography where travel remained restricted to established routes and pack trails. Water sources are the critical landmarks for this era, with named points like Bitter Spring, Indian Head Spring, and Tinaja Spring serving as vital hubs for both natural life and earlier human activity. The map reveals a land structured by immense geological features, from the heights of Dogie Mountain and Maverick Mountain to the broad expanse of Burro Mesa. A lone Corral near the southern edge remains as a physical artifact of the region's ranching heritage within the park's protected limits.
