About this map

Bozar sits at the intersection of a network of rural routes in Mills County, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages and a modern system of water management. The terrain is dominated by local heights such as Tiger Mtn, with local history preserved at the Trigger Mountain Cem nearby. The area showcases a significant focus on land and water conservation, evidenced by the numerous Soil Conservation Service structures and the Brown Mullin Watershed Reservoir Number Five system.

Waterways like Mustang Cr, Browns Cr, and Cowhouse Cr carve through the topography, feeding into various reservoirs including Lake Merritt. This 2022 survey documents a contemporary rural Texas environment where cattle ranching and agricultural operations are supported by extensive watershed management, as seen in the scattered reservoirs and the presence of North Brown Cem along the winding course of Mountain Cr.
