2022 Map of Buckhorn Mountain

About this map

Buckhorn Mtn and Mt McElroy anchor this high-elevation landscape in Jeff Davis County, where a complex network of canyons and draws defines the terrain. The map reveals the critical importance of water sources in this arid environment, naming numerous sites such as Dipping Vat Spring, Shelbarger Spring, and Bear Wallow Spring. These features, alongside Cherry Creek, suggest a history of ranching and livestock movement through the canyons.
