About this map

The southern outskirts of Dumas anchor this West Texas survey, revealing a landscape where municipal growth meets established cattle operations. The town's grid extends southward toward Burnett Ranch, while the surrounding plains are defined by intermittent water sources and ranching infrastructure. Private aviation is represented by the Beauchamp Airstrip, located near the Beauchamp Ranch in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by several man-made impoundments such as the City of Dumas Lake Dam. Further east, the Coon Ranch territory features Coon Lake Number 2 and John Coon Ranch Lake, providing essential water for livestock near the headwaters of Big Blue Creek. These drainage patterns, including Running Water Creek, illustrate the vital role of riparian corridors in the High Plains ranching economy.
