2019 Map of Dumont

About this map

Dumont sits at the eastern edge of this landscape, a high-plains community where the borders of Motley, Cottle, Dickens, and King counties converge. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system flowing toward the N Wichita River, which snakes across the southern portion of the sheet. Numerous seasonal watercourses and topographic depressions like Thief Hollow, Middle Cr, and Eighteen Cr carve through the ranchland, illustrating the erosional patterns characteristic of the Rolling Plains. Local history and genealogy are centered around the Dumont Cem and the nearby Shinnery Springs, which likely served as vital water sources for early settlers and livestock in this semi-arid region. The road network, including FM 193 and FM 2569, connects the scattered farmsteads and rural routes that crisscross these wide-open county lines.
