1952 Map of Palacios

About this map

The coastal settlement of Palacios sits prominently on the western shore of Tres Palacios Bay, defined by its grid of streets and key civic structures like the P.O. and High Sch. To the west, the expansive grounds of Camp Hulen mark the landscape, while the Southern Pacific railroad provides a vital inland connection. The geography is dominated by the shifting interface of land and water, featuring Matagorda Bay to the south and smaller bodies like Oyster Lake and Mad Island Lake.
