About this map

Limpia Mtn and Blue Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape in the Davis Mountains region, where a dense network of trails defines the backcountry character. Named tracks such as Stage Coach Pass Trl, Saddlebag Trl, and Whiskey Run Trl suggest a history of transit and cattle work through the high passes, including Tonys Pass and Bandolero Pass. These routes intersect with drainages like Limpia Cr and Cienega Cr, which cut through landforms like Brushy Canyon and Jones Canyon.

Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the positioning of the Upper Jones Windmill and Lower Jones Windmill, as well as small collection points like Santana Tank and Miguel Tank. Along the lower terrain, Largent Ranch Rd provides access near the Point of Rocks Roadside Park, a notable stop on the highway. The map illustrates how ranching infrastructure and recreation trails adapt to the drainage patterns of the N Fork Alamito Cr and Middle Fork Cienega Cr.
