About this map

The Dumont settlement stands at a rare four-county junction where Motley, Cottle, Dickens, and King counties meet in the Rolling Plains of West Texas. This modern survey illustrates a landscape defined by the intricate drainage systems of the N Wichita River and its various tributaries, including Middle Cr, Eighteen Cr, and Hollar Cr. The topography is marked by deep erosional features like Thiel Hollow and Shinnery Draw, which transition into the river valley.

Local history and genealogy interests center around the Dumont Cem located south of the main junction along Co RD 101. The map reveals the persistence of rural infrastructure, with a network of county roads such as Co RD 408 and Co RD 222 providing access to isolated points like Shinnery Springs. This survey documents the intersection of administrative boundaries and natural watercourses in a sparsely populated ranching region.
