2019 Map of Bare Mountain

About this map

Bare Mtn anchors this arid West Texas landscape, where the management of water is the primary footprint of human activity. A network of ranching infrastructure is visible through numerous catchment features, including Selman Tank, Dickes Tank, and Dam Fence Tank, alongside the critical water source at Twiford Spring. These water points support the vast rangelands surrounding the Rockpile Ranch Airport in the eastern portion of the sheet. The terrain is defined by deep cuts and elevated formations such as Buzzard Roost Hills, Jones Canyon, and Sams Butte. Movement through this high-desert environment follows established paths like Mescalero Rd and Broken Tank Rd, which traverse the broad Babcock Basin and navigate the drainage patterns of Bunton Draw.
