2019 Map of Fortune Bend

About this map

Possum Kingdom Lake dominates the northern landscape of this region, where the Brazos River carves deep, dramatic loops through Palo Pinto County. These sharp river bends define the local geography, from Hog Bend in the northwest to the eponymous Fortune Bend in the east. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Schoolhouse Mtn and Crawford Mtn, which overlook a network of seasonal drainages including Ioni Creek and Harris Br. Residential development and leisure infrastructure are concentrated along the northern shorelines, evidenced by the clustered street networks of Gaines Bend and Frank Harris Bend, as well as the Sportsman's World Airport. This 2019 survey illustrates the intersection of rugged Texas hill country with modern recreational growth, showing how road networks like Park Rd 36 and Brackeen Ranch Rd navigate the challenging topography of Doan Hollow and Crawford Hollow.
