Spur sits at the junction of Dockum Creek and Duck Creek, serving as a centralized hub for the surrounding ranchlands of Dickens County. The town's grid is oriented diagonally along the former rail corridor, now marked by 6th St, showing a layout defined by early 20th-century transportation routes. To the east, the landscape transitions into the rolling terrain of the Steele Hills and the wide drainage of Spade Draw. Water management is a visible priority in this arid environment, evidenced by the Soil Conservation Service Site 12 Reservoir and its associated Soil Conservation Service Site 12 Dam north of Steele Hill. Further south, the map details the rural road network, including FM 261 and Airport Rd leading toward the Spur Municipal Airport, alongside numerous county roads that provide access to remote acreage and watercourses like Camp Creek and Wilson Draw.
