2016 Map of The Palisades

About this map

Lake Tanglewood and the winding course of the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River anchor this landscape south of Amarillo. The terrain transitions from the developed streets of Zita in the north to the dramatic breaks of the Palo Duro Canyon system in the south. Residential expansion is evident in the cluster of roads around Palisades and the private community surrounding the lake, where a dense network of local drives like Dolphin Trl and Tangle Aire Dr navigate the steep topography. Aviation is represented by both Blue Sky Airfield and River Falls Airport, serving the local region. Geological landmarks are prominent throughout the draws, including the Devils Kitchen and Timbercreek Canyon, highlighting the erosion-carved environment that defines this portion of the Texas Panhandle. Modern transportation infrastructure, such as Loop 335 and Claude Hwy, provides the primary links between these canyon communities and the larger urban center to the north.
