Historic Terlingua, in Texas&#8217; Big Bend region is located between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Once an abandoned mining village, the ghost town is now the center of a charming desert community.

The mineral <a title=\"Terlinguaite\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Terlinguaite\">terlinguaite<\/a> was first found in the vicinity of California Hill.
