About this map

Brownwood and the neighboring communities of Early and Woodland Heights are shown in this late-twentieth-century study of the Central Texas landscape. The urban core is anchored by the Courthouse and institutional landmarks like Payne University, Lion Stadium, and the Coliseum, reflecting a established regional hub. Industry and infrastructure are evident through the numerous Gravel Pits dotting the outskirts and the path of the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe RR.

The hydrology of the area is defined by the winding course of Pecan Bayou, which receives tributaries like Adams Branch and Delaware Creek. To the west, the Camp Bowie Reservoir and Bowie Memorial Airpark mark the site of former military activity converted to municipal use. Local genealogy and history are preserved at Greenleaf Cemetery, Connell Cem, and Beairds Cem, while historical transportation routes like Williams Ranch Road provide clues to early settlement patterns in Brown County.
