From the black/silver historical marker: Dead Man's Pass. Two similar topographic names nearby recall
the risks of 19th century travel. Dead Man's Creek rises two miles southwest of this site and flows
southeast to the Devil's River. While Dead Man's Canyon begins a mile to the northeast and runs west
to the Pecos. This path that later became a stage route to Ozona and then State Highway 163 is today
remembered as a treacherous frontier road.
