2010 Map of Brownwood

About this map

Brownwood and the neighboring city of Early anchor this landscape during a period of sustained growth in Central Texas. The urban core is defined by the campus of Howard Payne University and the historic Greenleaf Cemetery, while residential expansion pushes south toward Woodland Heights. The map reveals a complex water management system engineered to support the region's agricultural and municipal needs, featuring the Municipal Reservoir Upper Dam on Pecan Bayou and several specialized reservoirs like the Soil Conservation Service Site 4a Reservoir. These man-made features interact with the natural drainage of Adams Branch and Willis Creek. To the north, the US Agricultural Experiment signifies the area's long-standing connection to land use research, while family-named sites such as Connell Cemetery and Beairds Cemetery provide essential touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Brown County.
