2019 Map of Owens

About this map

Brownwood and Early anchor the southern portion of this landscape, where the urban outskirts meet the rural expanse of Brown County. The area is defined by its complex drainage network, notably the winding path of Pecan Bayou and several tributaries like Salt Creek and Delaware Creek. This period reveals a landscape managed for water and transport, featuring multiple reservoirs such as Soil Conservation Service Site 11 Reservoir and the Brownwood Regional Airport. For those looking into local lineage, several family and community burial grounds are documented, including Heflin Cemetery in the north and Jones Chapel Cemetery near the southern settlements. Smaller communities and specialized sites like Owens and the Flying S Air Ranch illustrate the varied uses of the land as it transitions from municipal centers to open ranchland.
