2022 Map of Dove Mountain

About this map

High desert elevations and ranching infrastructure define this Brewster County landscape, dominated by the prominent rise of Dove Mtn in the south and the dramatic landform of Horseshoe Mesa to the north. Drainage for the region follows the seasonal path of Guayule Cr, which winds through the central valley. The map reveals the essential role of water management in this arid environment, marked by named catchments like Stevenson Tank and Crenshaw Tank. Human activity is sparse and specialized, centered on the Stovall Ranch Number 4 Airport and the lonely stretch of Dove Mountain Rd. This layout illustrates the vast scale of modern West Texas landholdings where aviation and private water engineering are vital for traversing and maintaining large-acreage ranch operations.
