2010 Map of Dove Mountain

About this map

Guayule Creek winds through this arid section of Brewster County, defining a landscape shaped by water scarcity and ranching infrastructure. The area is dominated by topographic landmarks such as Dove Mountain and Horseshoe Mesa, with the local economy and land use reflected in the numerous water catchments including Stevenson Tank, Bowden Tank, and Crenshaw Tank. Transport and access are limited to remote routes like Dove Mountain Rd, which serves the isolated Stovall Ranch Number 4 Airport. This survey provides a clear view of West Texas rangeland management in the early 21st century, where named tanks and landing strips are essential markers of human presence in a sparsely populated environment.
