About this map

Round Mtn and Encantada Peak command the high ground of this Jeff Davis County landscape, where deep drainages like Echo Canyon and Rock House Canyon define the terrain. This modern survey illustrates a ranching environment where water management is critical to land use. Artificial water sources such as Middle Rock House Tank, Johnson Tank, and Brink Tank are strategically placed throughout the high country, supplementing natural features like Ash Spring and Hawthicket Spring.

Surface transportation is largely defined by private access routes servicing vast tracts of land, including Long X Ranch Rd, Bar C Ranch Rd, and Broken Tank Rd. The map tracks the complex network of draws and canyons, such as Adobe Draw and Wood Canyon, that funnel seasonal runoff through the Davis Mountains foothills. These labels provide essential geographical context for understanding contemporary Texas ranching operations and water rights in an arid region.
