About this map

Dumas serves as the focal point for this Moore County landscape, situated where the northern residential and industrial margins meet the wide agricultural expanse of the Texas Panhandle. The area is defined by a rigid grid of rural routes, including Road E and Miles Rd, which segment the terrain into large production plots. Natural drainage is dictated by the wandering course of South Palo Duro Creek, which cuts diagonally across the western sections of the map.

Industry and local history are etched into the road names themselves, from the industrial-minded Carbon Black Rd and Morton Elevator Rd to the more colloquial Beer Can Aly. To the north, small settlements like Machovec and Sheerin mark distinct points of human activity amidst the fields. The presence of Northlawn Memorial Cemetery near the creek provides a significant site for genealogical research in this northern High Plains region.
