2013 Map of Bowie

About this map

Bowie serves as a significant rail and highway crossroads in Montague County, defined by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad corridor. The settlement pattern radiates from the city center toward outlying areas like McDonald and Fruitland, reflecting the region's steady development. Notable for genealogists, the map identifies several burial grounds including Elmwood Cem, Saint Peters Cem, and Brushy Cem. The landscape transitions from the urban grid of Bowie to the more varied terrain of Cougar Mountain and Grindstone Mountain to the west. Industrial activity is evident through the presence of the Mueller Oil Field and Osage Oil Field, while the local hydrology is shaped by Denton Cr, Brushy Cr, and the Soil Conservation Service Site 18 Reservoir. Public infrastructure like the Bowie Municipal Airport highlights the city's role as a regional hub.
