About this map

Blue Mtn and Limpia Mtn anchor this high-elevation landscape in Jeff Davis County, where the drainage networks of Cienega Cr and the N Fork Alamito Cr carve through the Davis Mountains. The geography is defined by a dense system of historic access routes and named passes, including Stage Coach Pass and Buckboard Pass, reflecting a legacy of movement through this complex terrain.

Lower elevations to the south give way to the Bull Pasture Hills and broad drainages like the Merrill Fork. Ranching infrastructure is prominent throughout, marked by named roads such as Friend Ranch Rd and Kahl Rch Rd, alongside essential water sources like Santana Tank and Webster Tank. The map also traces an intricate network of trails, from Saddle Bag Trl to High Lonesome Trl, illustrating how human activity has long adapted to the canyons and ridges of the Trans-Pecos region.
