My great-grandmother left Poland in 1922, and on her immigration documents, it lists her birthplace in Poland.
I understand that this is hard to read (original is lost, I only have this)
Could anyone let me know what city this would be?

Narew?
Ożarów?
I think it’s Ożarów
Link below leads to excel files contains list of all cities, towns and willages prepared by ministry of internal affairs and administration:

In case if you wouldn’t be willing to click random links provided by random people in internet you can download this files through government web page:

Button you should search for is named “pobierz cały zbiór >>”
There’s possibility to change language of page to English but you have to search for those lists again and since it’s not really comfortable to navigate through smartphone let me do it more convince to me this time.
My idea is to check all possible options with list to get set of places which you could look for eg on map and compare it with other information you can find like voivodeship, poviat, commune, other cities or perhaps river.
