The Brazos River carves a dramatic series of deep meanders through this portion of Palo Pinto County as it appeared in the mid-1920s. Long before the river was impounded, the landscape was defined by sharp loops like Johnson Bend, Garland Bend, and Fortune Bend, where river crossings provided vital links between ranching lands. This survey was conducted for the Board of Water Engineers, capturing the topographical character of Possum Kingdom and Mc Adams Valley prior to major hydro-engineering projects.
