Tarlinga Peak, (named in the 1884 Military Map of Western Texas, and referred to in the 1889 Survey Report of the
United States Geological Survey), is a prominent peak that is known today only as Hen Egg Mountain. However, earlier
in this century, according to Terlingua native Evelyn Fulcher, it was called Egg Shell Mountain by the Big Bend residents. Terlingua
Creek is seen here, which is downstream from Hen Egg, (Hen Egg being on the East side of Terlingua Creek).
