Mount Livermore (Texas)
Mountain in Texas, United States
Mount Livermore is a summit in the Davis Mountains in Jeff Davis County, Texas. It reaches an elevation of 8,378 feet / 2,554 meters, and is the fourth highest and most isolated peak in Texas.[2] The peak was named for Major William Livermore who used it as a point of observations and placed a base monument atop it.[3]
In October and November 1884, Major Livermore, of the Engineer Corps, was in charge of a military expedition in making a map of western Texas. When reaching the top of the bare rock he called it "Old Baldy", named after a general officer called Baldy Smith.[4] Baldy Peak is an alternate name.[5]
