Texas Land Survey Maps for Bowie County

Texas Land Survey Maps for Bowie County, By Gregory A. Boyd, J.D., 194 pages, with 62 maps; Paperback, 8.5x11 inches, Publ. 2012.

This is an indispensable book for any researcher interested in Bowie County's history or land (or both), or its first landowners after Texas's Independence from Mexico. Each book in this series is laid out into multiple maps using a 6-mile high by 4-mile wide grid. This book contains 57 Survey maps laid out within this grid. Each Land Survey Map shows the boundaries of original parcels laid out over existing roads, railroads, and waterways. These are shown as well as the original Survey-Name and the Abstract Number assigned by the Texas General Land Office to the instrument that gave ownership to that parcel.
