2010 Map of Buckhorn Mountain

About this map

Buckhorn Mountain and the surrounding high-desert landscape of Jeff Davis County are defined by a network of deep drainage draws and isolated ranching outposts. This 2010 survey reveals a terrain shaped by water scarcity, where life revolves around named springs like Shelberger Spring and Orchard Spring, and cattle operations are supported by mechanical landmarks such as Gomez Windmill and Leonard Camp Windmill. Significant ranching tracts including the K C Ranch and Zero Three Ranch are connected by rugged local paths like 03 Ranch Rd. The physical geography is marked by prominent elevations such as Mount McElroy and Indian Peak, which overlook complex canyon systems including Hell Canyon and Right Hand Falls Canyon. This map provides a clear record of the modern ranching infrastructure and hydrological features essential to navigating this part of the Trans-Pecos.
