Fort Davis

Fort Davis sits at the foot of the Davis Mountains in West Texas, where Limpia Creek runs through a high desert valley. The town developed beside Fort Davis, a U.S. Army post established in 1854 to protect travelers on the San Antonio–El Paso Road; its preserved buildings now form Fort Davis National Historic Site. Rugged volcanic slopes, grasslands and exceptionally dark skies distinguish this ranching country from lower parts of West Texas. The nearby McDonald Observatory continues the area’s long connection with astronomical research. Move on to other webcams in West Texas to compare landscapes and settings around the Davis Mountains.
