1960 Map of The Palisades

About this map

Palo Duro Canyon dominates this landscape, where the Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River carves through the Texas Panhandle. This mid-century survey illustrates the era's recreation and water management, highlighting the development of Lake Tanglewood and the smaller Palo Duro Club Lake. The presence of Camp Harrington along the river fork suggests the area's importance for local youth organizations during the 1950s and 60s.
