2012 Map of Dumont

About this map

The settlement of Dumont anchors this portion of King County, where the ranching economy is etched into the landscape through an extensive network of water infrastructure. Numerous named landmarks, such as Dumont Horse Pasture Windmill, Thief Hollow Windmill, and McDuff Windmill, illustrate the vital role of groundwater management in this arid region of West Texas. The drainage of the N Wichita River and its tributaries, including Middle Cr and Eighteen Cr, dictate the local topography, carving out features like Shinnery Draw and Wildcat Draw. Genealogists will find the Dumont Cem positioned along Farm Road 193, while the presence of Shinnery Springs suggests a historical reliance on natural water sources before the proliferation of the steel windmills seen today.
