1968 Map of Dumont

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Dumont sits as a central settlement in this West Texas landscape, where the confluence of several seasonal watercourses defines the local geography. The area is characterized by the North Wichita River and its numerous tributaries, including Middle Creek, Eighteen Creek, and Hollar Creek. This survey captures a rural ranching economy dependent on subterranean water sources, evidenced by the high density of named windmills such as the Thief Hollow Windmill, Headquarters Windmill, and McDuff Windmill. These points of infrastructure were vital for livestock and human survival in the arid terrain north of the Shinnery Draw. The map also records early water management efforts with the Dumont Dam and specialized landmarks like Shinnery Springs, providing a detailed look at how land was utilized and subdivided by fence lines across the county borders of Motley, Dickens, Cottle, and King.
