1980 Map of Bowser

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Colorado River carves a winding path through this central Texas landscape, marking the historical border where Mills and San Saba Counties meet. This 1970s-era topography reveals a rural district defined by deep hollows and intermittent drainages like Wilbarger Creek and Harky Hollow. Small community centers such as Bowser and Locker anchor the southern reaches, supported by local gathering places including Vargy Chapel and Oakland Church. The presence of several flowing wells and the Gravel Pit near the river suggests a reliance on the area's natural resources and subsurface hydrology. Notable elevations like Corn Knob and Cat Knob rise above the surrounding terrain, providing landmarks for a region where cattle ranching and sparse rural settlements have long shaped the land's character.
