2016 Map of Costello Island

About this map

Possum Kingdom Lake dominates this Palo Pinto County landscape, where the Brazos River creates a series of dramatic meanders including Ming Bend, Waco Bend, and Gaines Bend. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as McAdams Peak, Gordon Mtn, and Bald Mtn, rising above the reservoir's convoluted shoreline. The map documents modern infrastructure alongside historical markers, featuring the Possum Kingdom Airport and the smaller Costello Island, Inc Airport on Costello Island. Genealogists and local historians can locate the McAdams Cem near McGinnis Point, while several named sloughs and creeks like Chimney Slough and Deep Elm Cr drain the surrounding heights. The area is intersected by a network of local routes including FM 2353 and Park Rd 36, which serve the various residential developments and camps along the lake.
