1967 Map of Flomot

About this map

Flomot serves as the central hub of this West Texas landscape, situated at the edge of the Caprock where the plains break into the canyonlands of the North Pease River. The 1967 field-checked data illustrates a remote agricultural and ranching district defined by seasonal watercourses like Alamosa Creek and Tom Ball Creek. A distinct transition in topography is visible as the flat upland plains, marked by scattered Gravel Pits, give way to the intricate drainage systems carved by the river and its tributaries. Local history is anchored at the Memorial Park (Cem) just north of the town site, while the presence of Miller Springs and Quitaque Creek suggests the vital role of water sources in this arid environment. The map captures the region before extensive modern development, showing the original footprint of rural roads and scattered windmills across the Motley County terrain.
