2013 Map of Dove Mountain

About this map

Dove Mtn and Horseshoe Mesa anchor this remote high-desert landscape in Brewster County, defined by its water-management infrastructure and vast ranching geography. The reliance on seasonal water sources is evident through scattered collection points like Stevenson Tank, Jones Tanks, and Crenshaw Tank, which dot the terrain along ephemeral drainages such as Guayule Cr. The prominence of the Stovall Ranch Nr 4 Airport highlights the necessity of private aviation for reaching such isolated territory. Modern access is primarily facilitated by Dove Mountain Rd, which cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle, connecting the various ranching interests and water features that have sustained livestock operations in this arid environment into the 21st century.
