1952 Map of Palacios

About this map

Camp Hulen occupies the western edge of this coastal survey, reflecting its transition from a pre-war training site to its mid-century state. The community of Palacios serves as the focal point at the junction of the Southern Pacific railroad and the waters of Tres Palacios Bay. The town's grid is well-established, featuring both a High Sch and Jr High Sch near the waterfront. To the east, across the bay, the smaller settlement of Collegeport is surrounded by the Collegeport Cem and several windmills, illustrating a more dispersed agricultural character.
