1957 Map of Miles
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Miles and Rowena anchor this West Texas landscape at the confluence of several Runnels and Tom Green County boundaries in the late 1950s. The region is defined by the sweeping curves of the Colorado River and the Concho River, which meet near the southern edge of the map. These waterways were essential for transit and crossing in an era before modern infrastructure, as evidenced by Mullins Crossing and the 7 Mile Crossing. The industrial footprint of the time is visible through an Oil Field and numerous Oil Tanks near Rowena, while the agricultural and educational history is marked by several decommissioned local institutions, including Kristoff Sch and Lowake Sch. The Gulf Colorado And Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal path across the terrain, serving as the primary commercial artery for these small farming and energy communities.
