Big Aguja Ranch is located in the heart of the Davis Mountains, a Sky Island of the Chihuahuan Desert with elevations ranging from 5,100 feet to 6,400 feet. Big Aguja Canyon is one of the major drainages of the Davis Mountains located in a high forested rangeland, creating some of the most scenic bluffs, rocky outcrops, canyons, meadows, and mountains in the region. This is ponderosa and pinion pine country, huge red oaks, big tooth maples, madrone, and lush grasslands. The central geologic feature on the ranch is Big Aguja Canyon, creating magnificent vistas rivaling any national park in the country. There is a permanent year-round spring that naturally supplies the wildlife and its habitat with ample water. The creeks run most years and all of the creeks flow in the cool wet summers of the high Davis Mountains. The views are stunning and overlook the most spectacular scenery in the entire Davis Mountains. Livermore, Black, Haystacks, Blue, Star, and Limpia mountains can all be seen from overlooks on the ranch. Mountain ranges beyond Alpine and Marfa, the Glass and Chinati Mountains (30 to 50 miles distant) can be seen clearly on most days. This is part of the historic Sproul Ranch settled in the late 19th century and has been a working cattle and recreation ranch ever since. The most amazing aspect of the ranch is the well designed road network that allows excellent access on the ranch which can be used by vehicles or by horseback for scenic tours. These roads were designed by the Sproul family starting some 100 years ago for working cattle, building earth tanks, and accessing the amazing wildlife that this family has nurtured over the years.
