About this map

Spur serves as the focal point of this late-1960s survey, showing a well-defined grid oriented towards the local economy and infrastructure. The town features a mix of civic and community landmarks including Swenson Park, a High Sch, and the Spur Municipal Airport. Of particular interest to researchers is the complex drainage system of the West Texas landscape, where Duck Creek, Spade Draw, and Wilson Draw converge.

Evidence of the region's utility and industry is visible in the Aqueduct located west of the town center, and the presence of several Gravel Pits and a Radio Tower. The survey also marks the Dickens Co Kent Co boundary to the south, crossing through the winding path of Camp Creek. This snapshot captures the town at a moment of established stability, with clear delineations of public spaces like the local Golf Course and Athletic Field.
