Mariscal Mining Company
The Mariscal Mine was a mercury mining operation in the southern part of what is now Big Bend National Park. The mine operated until World War II, producing nearly a quarter of all the mercury produced in the U.S. from 1900 to 1943. This is now on the National Register of Historic Places but is very difficult to visit on account of its remoteness.
