2022 Map of Owens

About this map

Pecan Bayou and its winding tributaries define the landscape of this Central Texas corridor between Brownwood and the northern settlement of Owens. The terrain is characterized by a series of watercourses including Red Hole Creek, Salt Creek, and Elm Creek, which are supplemented by various water management projects like Soil Conservation Service Site 17 Reservoir. Aviation is a notable part of the local infrastructure, with the Brownwood Regional Airport and the Flying S Air Ranch serving the region. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the area, including Heflin Cemetery in the north and Staley Cemetery near the southern boundary. The map also records the expansion of Early, highlighting the transition from rural creeksides to more developed areas near Eastlawn Memorial Park.
