# §9.155. Texas Davis Mountains.

- (a) **Name.** The name of the viticultural area described in this section is “Texas Davis Mountains.”
- (b) **Approved map.** The appropriate maps for determining the boundary of the Texas Davis Mountains viticultural area are two U.S.G.S. metric topographical maps of the 1:100 000 scale, titled:
  - (1) “Fort Davis, Texas,” 1985.
  - (2) “Mount Livermore, Texas—Chihuahua,” 1985.
- (c) **Boundary.** The Texas Davis Mountains viticultural area is located in Jeff Davis County, Texas. The boundary is as follows:
  - (1) The beginning point is the intersection of Texas Highway 17 and Farm Road 1832 on the Fort Davis, Texas, U.S.G.S. map;
  - (2) From the beginning point, the boundary follows Highway 17 in a southeasterly and then southwesterly direction until it reaches the intersection of Limpia Creek with the unnamed stream which flows through Grapevine Canyon on the Fort Davis, Texas, U.S.G.S. map;
  - (3) The boundary then proceeds in a straight line in a southwesterly direction until it meets Highway 118 at a gravel pit 1 3/4 miles southeast of the intersection of Highway 118 and Highway 17;
  - (4) The boundary then proceeds in a straight line east by southeast until it meets Highway 166 at its junction with Highway 17;
  - (5) **The boundary then follows Highway 166 in a southwesterly direction onto the Mt.** Livermore, Texas-Chihuahua, U.S.G.S. map;
  - (6) The boundary then continues to follow Highway 166 in a westerly direction;
  - (7) The boundary then continues to follow Highway 166 as it turns in a northerly and then northeasterly direction to the point where it meets Highway 118;
  - (8) The boundary then follows Highway 118 in a northerly direction until it reaches a point where it intersects with the 1600 meter contour line, just north of Robbers Roost Canyon;
  - (9) The boundary then proceeds in a straight line due east for about two miles until it reaches the 1600 meter contour line to the west of Friend Mountain;
  - (10) The boundary then follows the 1600 meter contour line in a northeasterly direction until it reaches the northernmost point of Friend Mountain;
  - (11) The boundary then diverges from the contour line and proceeds in a straight line east-southeast until it reaches the beginning point of Buckley Canyon, approximately three fifths of a mile;
  - (12) The boundary then follows Buckley Canyon in an easterly direction to the point where it meets Cherry Canyon;
  - (13) The boundary then follows Cherry Canyon in a northeasterly direction to the point where it meets Grapevine Canyon on the Mt. Livermore, Texas-Chihuahua, U.S.G.S. map;
  - (14) The boundary then proceeds in a straight line from the intersection of Cherry and Grapevine Canyons to the peak of Bear Cave Mountain, on the Fort Davis, Texas, U.S.G.S. map;
  - (15) The boundary then proceeds in a straight line from the peak of Bear Cave Mountain to the point where Farm Road 1832 begins;
  - (16) The boundary then follows Farm Road 1832 back to its intersection with Texas Highway 17, at the point of beginning.
