1969 Map of Byrds

About this map

Pecan Bayou and its winding tributaries dominate this Central Texas landscape, where the waters of the Cross Cut and Red Creek converge before reaching the northern reaches of Lake Brownwood. The terrain is defined by a mix of agricultural clearings and an active Oil Field, marked by numerous drill holes, oil wells, and a sprawling pipeline network. Small rural centers and family landmarks like Lewis and Byrd are scattered across the quadrangle, reflecting the area's mid-century settlement patterns.
