Mount Huffman is a 6373feet summit in Brewster County, Texas, United States.
Mount Huffman is located in the Chisos Mountains and it ranks as the 16th-highest peak in Big Bend National Park.[2] The mountain is composed of intrusive rock which formed during the Oligocene period.[4] Topographic relief is modest as the summit rises 1,375 feet (419 m) above The Basin in 0.75miles. Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Huffman is located in a hot arid climate zone with hot summers and mild winters.[5] Any scant precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains southwest into Oak Creek and northeast into Green Gulch which are both part of the Rio Grande watershed. The lower slopes of the peak are covered by juniper, oak, and piñon. The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1994 by the United States Board on Geographic Names to remember Calvin C. Huffman (1907–1980), legislator from Texas who, in 1941, introduced a bill to provide funds for acquisition of land to create Big Bend National Park.[3]
