Castle Gap treasure legend and park dedication in West Texas
In Crane and McCamey area Castle Gap marks a rich history from Maximilian treasure legends to Butterfield routes and Goodnight Loving trails. A 1968 park dedication honored Canton Jacobs who owned the land, with later treasure hunting efforts by two Panhandle brothers leaving a 75 foot hole before vanishing. Also noted is a Texas weather history release from Texas A&M detailing a century of extreme conditions.
