2019 Map of Spur NW

About this map

Spur and its western rural hinterland are documented here during the late 2010s, capturing the transition between the agricultural plains and the drainage systems of the Rolling Plains. The landscape is defined by the branching networks of Red Mud Cr and its tributaries, including Grapevine Br and Little Red Mud Cr, which carve through the terrain south of the Dickens and Kent county line. For genealogists and local historians, the Red Mud Cem stands as a significant landmark of early ranching and farming settlement in this region. This modern survey illustrates the enduring farm-to-market road network, such as FM 261 and FM 836, which continues to connect isolated homesteads and grazing lands to the town center of Spur.
