In the 19th century, the place near where the Devils River had its confluence with the creek at the mouth of Hudson Canyon was the location of Camp Hudson just south the second crossing of Devil's River by the San Antonio-El Paso Road.[2] Camp Hudson and Hudson Canyon were named for 2nd Lieutenant Walter W. Hudson, an American soldier who died in the area on 19 April 1850 in fighting with local Native Americans.[3]
