The county from the air

48 shown

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 3,271 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

WhenEvent Place namedHarm What the report says
August 2021Flash FloodFt Davis$1,000,000Heavy rain resulted in flash flooding near Fort Davis. Highway 118 between Fort Davis and Alpine was washed out with water over the road. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.
September 2014Flash FloodFt Davis$250,000Heavy rain fell across Jeff Davis County and produced flash flooding at the Buffalo Trail Scout Ranch. A major flash flood came down from Goat Cave Creek and it was described as larger than anything experienced in the last 30 years. The flash flood damaged the pool shower house, pushed rocks and boulders into the pool, and washed out the pool slab. Large trees between the Old Folks Home and the pool were washed out, and there was water damage to the Ranger's house, Buffalo Hall, and the Dining Hall. Two jeeps, Kawasaki Mules, and four ATV's were submerged. The shop area was flooded leaving large amounts of silt and rocks. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.
October 2004HailValentine$50,000A severe thunderstorm at the south end of the developing squall line produced large hail over Valentine. Golfball size hail covered the ground and broke numerous windows.
June 2019HailFt Davis$40,000A thunderstorm moved across Jeff Davis County and produced two inch hail in Fort Davis. The hail caused broken windows, skylights, and window panes. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.
May 1998Thunderstorm WindFt Davis$30,000Winds from a collapsing thunderstorm damaged the hospital exhibit building at the Fort Davis National Historic Site. A sixty foot section of the porch along with columns and a 12-foot overhang for the porch were all thrown on top of the roof of the structure.
August 2007Thunderstorm WindValentine$20,000Thunderstorm winds downed powerlines in Valentine.
September 2006Flash FloodFt Davis$15,000Texas Highway 118 between Davis Mountains State Park and McDonald Observatory was closed briefly after heavy rains triggered a slide of several large rocks that landed on the road.
September 2004Flash FloodFt Davis$10,000Very dangerous flash flooding conditions developed rapidly on the morning of the 26th across Jeff Davis County. At 07:55 CST the Fort Davis Fire Department reported two persons stranded by flood waters in Short Canyon, thirteen miles north-northeast of Fort Davis. The fire department also reported that work was underway to rescue two additional stranded campers in Madera Canyon, ten miles west-southwest of the McDonald Observatory. Rescue crews were able to bring the campers in Madera Canyon to safety shortly before noon CST. Additional flash flooding was reported along Olympia Creek, where water up to six feet in depth inundated Texas Highway 118 for 200 yards between Fort Davis and the Fort Davis State Park. The intersection of Texas Highways 118 and 17 also was submerged by flowing flood watersFlooding along Olympia Creek was reported to have receded by mid afternoon. A second flood wave, however, raged through the creek and inundated the same portion of State Highway 118 north of the Fort Davis around 16:45 CST. The water again receded making the highway passable by 19:35 CST.Dangerous conditions persisted through much of the night in rural Jeff Davis County near Short Canyon. Two people remained isolated at a deserted ranch house near Wild Rose Pass by raging flood waters. The individuals were airlifted to safety via a helicopter rescue just before dawn on the morning of the 27th. No serious injuries or damage was reported.
July 1999Tornado (F1)Ft Davis$10,000A landspout tornado formed on a developing thunderstorm in the Davis Mountains in the Limpia Crossing Subdivision west of Fort Davis.

The debris from the hay barn was scattered in many directions.
October 2015Flash FloodFt Davis$5,000Heavy rain fell across Jeff Davis County and produced flash flooding. A rock slide with debris and flooding was reported on Highway 118 north of the McDonald Observatory. The cost of damage is a very rough estimate.

June 2004HailFt Davis$3,000At least one vehicle was damaged by large hail along State Route 118.
May 1997HailFt Davis$3,000A hail storm hit the Village Farms Tomato Greenhouse south of Fort Davis. The huge greenhouses total over 83,000 glass panes, but luckily only 500 panes were broken by the hail. Much of the hail was around golfball size, but there was some baseball size. This storm developed after the first cluster had moved away from the mountains. Its structure was only impressive for a short time as it moved over this area.
May 2023Thunderstorm WindFt Davis$2,000A roof was partially blown off of a shed with minor tree damage in the area. Wind speeds are estimated to have been around 70 mph. Property damage is an estimate.
