The Davis Mountains as seen from one of their Southern vantage points along HWY 118, South of Fort Davis, North of Alpine.
The Davis Mountains, originally known as Limpia Mountains, are a range of mountains in West Texas, located near Fort Davis, their namesake. The fort was named for then US Secretary of War and later Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

Instead of being a single coherent range, the Davis Mountains are an irregular jumble of isolated peaks and ridges separated by flatter areas. They occupy a rough square about 31 mi on each side. The mountains are of volcanic origin composed of strata due to eruptions of the Trans-Pecos Volcanic Field 35 million years ago.
