From "The
CCC Parks" by Bob Bowman:
"At
Bonham, the 261-acre Bonham State Park
stands within the northern reaches of the Blackland Prairie, an area marked with
grasslands interspersed by woodlands, near the Texas
border with Oklahoma.
In developing the park, the CCC used the rocky,
hilly terrain of the area for erosion control and rccreational purposes, and built
an earthern dam to impound a 65-acre lake. Buildings of cream-colored limestone
and eastern red cedar were scattered around the park." |
