2022 Map of Fort Davis

About this map

The Fort Davis National Historic Site dominates the central landscape of this West Texas quadrangle, preserving the frontier legacy of a post established to protect the San Antonio–El Paso Road. The town of Fort Davis itself spreads southeast of the old fortifications, anchored by the Fort Davis County Courthouse. This 2022 survey details a complex topography of volcanic peaks and deep incisions, where Hospital Canyon and Limpia Canyon provide natural passages through the surrounding heights. Genealogy and local history are marked at several burial grounds, including Pioneer Cem and Saint Joseph Cem, while the modern infrastructure of Prude Guest Ranch RD and Park Road 3 illustrates the area's transition into a center for tourism and preservation. The rugged elevations of Sleeping Lion Mtn and Blue Mtn define the horizons beyond the settled valley floors of Chihuahua Cr.
