About this map

Dove Mountain anchors this high-desert landscape in Brewster County, where the topography shifts from rugged peaks to vast alluvial plains. During the late 1970s and early 1980s, this area remained largely undeveloped, characterized by a sparse network of earthen routes such as Dove Mountain Road and various Jeep Trails. The reliance on local water sources is evident through the numerous Tanks and individual Tank sites scattered across the terrain, serving as essential infrastructure for ranching operations. To the northeast, the distinct rise of Black Hill stands out against the surrounding flats. Precise survey markers like BM 2804 and BM 2796 delineate the elevation changes along the primary road, offering valuable data points for those studying the physical geography of the Big Bend region.
