USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Bowie serves as a major north Texas crossroads where the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Fort Worth and Denver railroads intersect. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a landscape transitioning from the cattle-driving era to a twentieth-century petroleum and gravel economy. Surrounding the town center, numerous neighborhood institutions like the North Ward Sch and South Ward Sch anchor the residential core, while the outskirts are marked by intensive energy development in the Hildreth Oil Field and the Mueller Oil Field.
