I hunted the Quitmans in the 80's for Coleonyx Reticulatus(I had a permit), the only thing I saw was 1 trimorph. I am sure there are alterna there. That is some cool habitat but those roads will shake the fiz out of your beer.
There was a resort/ranch headquarters/hunting camp near the river but that was 20 years ago. I think most of that area was owned by one person back then. There was a road that went south from Sierra Blanca to the river, it went right down the ridge of the mountain for a good distance and ended up at the river where the road came to a T and paralled the river.
Can we find that ranch owner?

Rick,
The Quitmans are owned by about 8 big ranches and a couple of land scammers. I've already been in contact with the owner of the northern part of the quitmans and she is being hesitant. I'm working on her though. There is another owner that I'm going to have to talk to in person. He's old school and has no phone (at least that I know of). Very nice guy and has around 9,000 acres.
There's more comming, I promise.
