2022 Map of The Palisades

About this map

Palo Duro Canyon and the Timbercreek Canyon define the landscape south of Amarillo, where the High Plains drop sharply into the breaks of the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River. This 2022 survey documents the residential development of The Palisades and the gated community around Lake Tanglewood, illustrating how modern settlement has integrated into the natural erosion features of the Llano Estacado. The map captures a transitional zone between the urban expansion represented by Zita and the dramatic topography of the Devils Kitchen. Aviation infrastructure is prominent with the inclusion of Blue Sky Airfield and River Falls Airport, while the intricate network of residential roads like Claude Hwy and W Hollywood Rd reflects the area's growth as a suburban and recreational extension of the nearby city.
