2016 Map of Robbers Roost Canyon

About this map

Rockpile Ranch Airport sits along the western edge of this Jeff Davis County landscape, where ranching infrastructure defines the modern usage of the high desert. The terrain is characterized by a series of drainage patterns and water catchments essential for livestock, including Saint Augustine Tank and Flattop Tank. Dramatic elevation changes are centered around Flattop Mtn and the steep contours of Robbers Roost Canyon to the east. Transportation through this part of the Trans-Pecos relies on specialized ranch roads such as High Lonesome Rd and Buffalo Pasture Rd, which navigate the draws and peaks of the Davis Mountains foothills. Distinctive landmarks like The Knob and Nunn Hill provide vertical orientation across the expansive, sparsely populated territory.
