About this map

The settlement of Dumont sits at a geographic crossroads where four Texas counties—Motley, Cottle, Dickens, and King—converge. This modern survey illustrates a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and local landmarks, most notably the N Wichita River winding through the southern half of the map. Genealogists and local historians will find the Dumont Cem positioned just south of the main community, a vital marker for tracing family roots in this corner of West Texas.

The surrounding terrain is carved by numerous draws and hollows that speak to the drainage patterns of the region. Features like Thief Hollow, Shinnery Draw, and Wildcat Draw break the surface, while Shinnery Springs provides a rare named water source. A network of rural farm roads, including FM 193 and FM 2569, connects the dispersed homesteads and ranch lands to the central hub at Dumont, maintaining the area's long-standing character as a remote agricultural junction.
