1984 Map of Fortune Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Morris Sheppard Dam anchors this mid-1980s landscape, holding back the massive expanse of Possum Kingdom Lake as it winds through the Palo Pinto hills. The map highlights the serpentine path of the Brazos River south of the dam, where it carves deep, dramatic loops known as Fortune Bend and Flint Bend. This area represents a rugged intersection of hydraulic engineering and natural topography, with dramatic landmarks like Hells Gate marking the entrance to southern lake coves.
