From Texas: A Guide to the Lone Star State:
"Left on this road into the CHISOS MOUNTAINS. Heading due south, the road makes its way straight into the heart of the Big Bend State Park area. Emory Peak is straight ahead, to the right is the frowning face of Pulliam Bluff, and on the left looms lofty Casa Grande. The mountain panorama at the rear is impressive."
The waymark coordinates are located at the Chisos Basin Visitor Center, which explains how Casa Grande and the Chisos Mountains were formed.
