About this map

Mount Livermore and its prominent neighbor Baldy Peak anchor this high-elevation terrain in the Davis Mountains. The landscape is defined by its reliance on water management for ranching, evidenced by the proliferation of windmills and tanks scattered across the high country. Named features such as The Rockpile and the associated Roadside Park suggest a history of early tourism and land use along the high mountain passes.

A network of Pack Trails and Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the canyons, connecting remote points like Whitetail Mountain and Richman Mountain. The names given to water sources, such as Sawtooth Windmill, House Log Windmill, and Limpia Spring, hint at the family-run ranching operations that have historically managed this arid environment. Significant drainage systems, including Limpia Creek and Madera Canyon, illustrate the complex watershed that drains from these peaks toward the desert floor.
