USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The railroad town of Bowie serves as a central hub in Montague County, defined by the junction of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Fort Worth and Denver railroads. The grid of the city center is detailed down to street-level names like Jefferson St and Elba St, alongside civic institutions such as North Ward Sch and Elmwood Cemetery. The landscape transitioning away from the urban center reveals an economy rooted in resource extraction and agriculture, evidenced by the Hildreth Oil Field and scattered Gravel Pits.
