About this map

The Fort Davis National Historic Site anchors this portion of the Davis Mountains, preserving the footprint of the 19th-century frontier military post. The modern community of Fort Davis sits at the junction of high-desert canyons and drainage systems, where Limpia Creek and Chihuahua Cr flow through the prominent rocky gaps. Evidence of conservation-era labor is visible in the Old CCC Trail and Skyline Drive Trail that wind through the peaks north of town.

Elevations vary significantly across the quadrangle, from the heights of Arabella Mtn and Scobee Mtn down to the sprawling drainage of Cienega Cr to the south. Local heritage is preserved at Pioneer Cem and Saint Joseph Cem, while the area's transition into a tourism and ranching hub is noted by the presence of Prude Guest Ranch Rd. Distinctive peaks like Sleeping Lion Mtn and Dolores Mtn dominate the immediate horizon around the townsite.
