2012 Map of Palo Pinto

About this map

Palo Pinto serves as the focal point of this North Texas survey, situated along the southern edge of a landscape defined by the winding course of the Brazos River. The river creates a series of dramatic loops including Crawford Bend, Dalton Bend, and Chick Bend, which dictate the local road network and cattle ranching boundaries. Upland areas such as Rocky Prairie and local peaks like Kyle Mtn and Crawford Mtn break the terrain, while smaller waterways like Elm Cr and Wolf Br drain into the Brazos. Significant ranching heritage is evident through named features like Worth Ranch and roads such as McMurrey Ranch Rd and Rhodes Ranch Rd. The presence of Costello Lake and the small settlement of Harris further mark this transition between the river valley and the surrounding Texas highlands.
