1963 Map of Paloduro

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Paloduro sits at a geographic crossroads where the high plains of the Texas Panhandle drop away into the deeply eroded drainages of the Red River system. This 1963 survey, photoinspected in the late 1970s, captures a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and seasonal watercourses. Notable landmarks like Koogle Jump Off and Mitchell Peak provide distinct vantage points over the complex network of canyons and gaps, including the descriptive Wagon Wheel Gap. The map illustrates a sparse settlement pattern typical of the region, where life is organized around the availability of water in ephemeral streams like West Fork Cottonwood Creek, Battle Creek, and Lone Tree Creek. Genealogists may find interest in the isolated Cem located near the eastern edge of the survey, while the presence of several benchmark points, such as BM 2772, indicates the precise geodetic work required to map this transition from flat plateau to carved canyon lands.
