2019 Map of Exum

About this map

Exum serves as the central point of interest in this High Plains region where the borders of Dallam, Sherman, Moore, and Hartley counties converge. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage of N Palo Duro Cr, which meanders across the central portion of the map, illustrating the subtle topography of the Texas Panhandle. This 2019 survey documents a rural infrastructure tailored for large-scale ranching and agriculture, characterized by a grid of county roads and specific access ways like Summerour Ln and Farm Store Rd. The intersection of multiple county lines near the headwaters of the creek highlights the historical importance of political boundaries in this open country, where Ranch Rd 297 and FM 281 provide the primary connectivity between these remote cattle-raising districts.
