1985 Map of Tulia

About this map

Palo Duro Canyon dominates the northeastern landscape of this 1985 survey, cutting a dramatic path across the high plains of the Texas Panhandle. The map reveals a sharp contrast between the deeply eroded canyon system, including landmarks like Lighthouse, Castle Peak, and The Narrows, and the surrounding flatlands characterized by a precise grid of roads and scattered depressions. Water drainage patterns define the region's geography, with Happy Draw, North Tule Draw, and Tierra Blanca Creek feeding into the canyon's complex network.
