With a population of just 58, Terlingua might be the only town in Texas where the dead outnumber the living. Wooden crosses are haphazardly embedded in mounds of dirt (often with no tombstones in sight), and simple memorials with handmade accents are scattered about instead of grandiose mausoleums. Most of the people laid to rest here were miners who succumbed to the toxicity of the mercury they were digging for. (Terlingua, Texas)
