Mount Livermore

Mount Livermore, also called Baldy Peak, rises 8,378 feet in the Davis Mountains of West Texas as the state’s fourth-highest peak and the most isolated of its high summits by the measure cited here. Named for Major William Livermore of the Engineer Corps, it served as his observation point during his 1884 expedition to map western Texas, when he also called the exposed summit Old Baldy after Baldy Smith. The mountain is also linked to older human presence through the Livermore Cache: Susan Janes excavated arrow points and fragments there, and in 1895 Charles Janes and Tom Merrill found more arrowheads beneath a cairn on the highest point.
