1971 Map of Yellow Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Lefthand Shutup and the high points of the Blue Range define this high-desert landscape in Brewster County. Recorded in the early 1970s, the terrain is shaped by the winding course of Terlingua Creek and the deep seasonal drainage of Saltgrass Draw. The map reveals a land utilized primarily for its natural topography rather than permanent settlement, with prominent landmarks such as Pinks Peak and the central Yellow Hill serving as essential navigational points. Movement through the area is restricted to a sparse network of Jeep Trails that skirt the edges of Black Ridge. The presence of a secluded Spring indicates the critical importance of water sources in this arid stretch of West Texas, where the lack of towns or commercial centers underscores the region's historical isolation and reliance on traditional ranching or surveying pathways.
