History
7
In 1876, English native John Summerfield (1885-1918) began work locating and surveying millions of acres of land in present-day Randall, Deaf Smith, Castro, and Swisher counties. One of the earth monuments he erected that year stood near this site and became a starting point for surveys in many Panhandle counties. In 1925, a group of Castro County citizens placed a concrete monument at the site, which had become known as Dameron's Corner after a local landowner. The monument was buried in 1958 when a road was cut through the area.
