1969 Map of Byrds

About this map

Pecan Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Hog Creek and Bledsoe Branch, define the landscape of this Central Texas region during the late 1960s. The area is characterized by an active extractive economy, with an extensive Oil Field and numerous scattered Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and Drill Holes marking the terrain. Small rural settlements like Grosvenor, Pecan, and Byrds serve as focal points for the community, while the northern reaches of Lake Brownwood introduce a recreational element with a prominent Campground.
