About this map

The settlement of Bozar sits at the junction of several rural routes in this 2016 survey of Mills County, Texas. This landscape is defined by an extensive water management system, featuring numerous reservoirs such as Lake Merritt and a series of structures like Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir and Brown Mullin Watershed Reservoir Number Five. These man-made features work in tandem with the natural drainage of Browns Cr and Mustang Cr, reflecting the region's historical efforts to manage water for local agriculture and flood control.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of rural landmarks, including Trigger Mountain Cem near the prominent peak of Tiger Mtn, and the North Browns Cem located further north along the county roads. The map's high level of detail preserves the layout of local infrastructure, from the winding path of FM 1029 to the numerous designated county roads that crisscross the terrain.
