It reaches an elevation of 8,176 feet / 2,492 meters, and is the fourth highest peak in Texas.[1] The peak was named for Major William Livermore who used it as a point of observations and placed a base monument atop it.[2] In October and November of 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. The Livermore CacheAn extensive cache of arrow points and fragments was excavated by Susan Janes, who moved to Fort Davis with her husband in 1893. In 1895 the Janeses' son Charles, and Tom Merrill found a cairn on its highest point. They demolished the cairn and discovered a scattering of arrowheads underneath it.[4] GalleryReferences1. ^{{GNIS|1361568|Mount Livermore}} [2][3]2. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Taylor|first1=Lonn|title=The Livermore Cache|url=https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-culture/the-livermore-cache/|publisher=Texas Monthly|accessdate=12 January 2018}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Thrapp|first1=Dan|title=Encyclopedia of Frontier Biography: G-O|date=1991|publisher=University of Nebraska Press|page=863}} }}{{coord|30|38|00|N|104|10|03|W|display=title}}{{JeffDavisCountyTX-geo-stub}} 1 : Landforms of Jeff Davis County, Texas |
