2016 Map of Exum

About this map

Exum sits at a crossroads of the High Plains, serving as a focal point for the agricultural landscape where Hartley, Dallam, Sherman, and Moore counties meet. This 2016 survey highlights a region defined by large-scale farming and ranching operations, visible through the grid of rural routes such as Farm Store Rd and Summerour Ln. The drainage of N Palo Duro Cr cuts an irregular path across the northern half of the quadrangle, providing a natural break in the otherwise structured sections of land. Local transport is centered on the junction of FM 281 and FM 807, which facilitates the movement of goods through this remote corner of the Texas Panhandle. The map captures the persistence of small rural settlements like Exum in an era of consolidating land holdings.
