Moore County blends wide-open High Plains horizons with tight-knit community life, anchored by Dumas and complemented by the smaller communities of Sunray and Cactus. Outdoor lovers appreciate quick weekend escapes to the blue waters and dramatic mesas of Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, cared for by the National Park Service, and the remarkable archaeology at Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument. With Amarillo within an easy drive, residents enjoy big-city conveniences while keeping a relaxed, small-town pace.
Families find strong academic footing through Dumas ISD and Sunray ISD, where classroom rigor pairs with powerhouse extracurriculars and Friday-night lights. For continuing education and workforce training, the Frank Phillips College Dumas Center widens local pathways to in-demand careers. History buffs won’t miss the community-curated exhibits at the Window on the Plains Museum, while city programming, parks, and seasonal events are easy to explore via the City of Dumas.
County services are straightforward and responsive, with resources, courts, and records accessible through the Moore County official site. Weekends offer simple pleasures—youth sports, barbecues, and sunsets that seem to stretch forever—plus quick trips to the Lake Meredith NRA shoreline or the storied flint ledges at Alibates Flint Quarries.
