1996 Map of Brownwood

About this map

Pecan Bayou winds through this central Texas landscape, separating the established city of Brownwood from its neighbors Early and Woodland Heights. The map reflects a mid-to-late 20th-century urban environment, featuring the campus of Howard Payne University and significant athletic landmarks like Longhorn Stadium and Lion Stadium. To the south, the Camp Bowie Reservoir and Bowie Memorial Airpark suggest the area's historical military and aviation footprint. The surrounding terrain is marked by numerous Gravel Pits and family-named cemeteries such as Connell Cem and Beairds Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists. The presence of the U S Dept Agr Exper Sta near the bayou highlights the region's long-standing connection to agricultural research and development alongside its growing suburban infrastructure.
