About this map

Flomot sits on the high plains of the Texas Panhandle, anchoring a landscape where agriculture and cattle ranching are dictated by the deep incisions of the North Pease River. This 1967 survey, updated with 1979 aerial revisions, reveals the vital importance of water management in Motley County, noted by the presence of isolated cattle landmarks like West Windmill and Twin Windmill.

The terrain is defined by the transition from flat farmland to the breaks of the Pease River and its tributaries, including Alamosa Creek and Ball Creek. Local genealogy and community history are centered around the townsite and the Memorial Park (Cem) to the north. Resource extraction is evident through several Gravel Pits located near the river bluffs, while the presence of Miller Springs indicates the natural water sources that originally drew settlement to this corner of the Rolling Plains.
