2012 Map of Paradise Mountain

About this map

Bloys Camp Meeting serves as a cultural landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Jeff Davis County. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage canyons and isolated peaks, such as Paradise Mtn and Mine Mtn. Ranching heritage is evident at the Barrel Springs Ranch, situated near the reliable water sources of Barrel Spring and Barrel Springs. The map documents a sparsely populated region where survival and settlement were historically dictated by the location of water, from the Box Windmill to the Blackeye Tank. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Pine Mesa and Crows Nest Hill, while transportation routes like Barrel Springs Ranch Rd and Skyline Dr follow the natural contours of the land. The presence of S Fork Alamito Cr and N Fork Alamito Cr further illustrates the complex watershed system of the Davis Mountains.
