About this map

Rowden serves as the central point of reference in this Callahan County landscape, situated where the terrain begins to rise toward the prominent height of W Caddo Peak. The area is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Turkey Cr and the multiple forks of the Burnt Branch system, such as W Prong Burnt Br and Burnt Br. These waterways cut through the elevation, creating a complex series of ridges and draws characteristic of this part of West Texas.

Local history and land use are etched into the map through features like the Burnt Branch Cem and the Soil Conservation Service Site 1a Reservoir, which indicates modern efforts in water management. A grid of county roads, including Co RD 450 and Co RD 422, connects remote ranching properties and small water bodies like Hall Lake, providing a clear record of rural settlement patterns and infrastructure in the mid-2010s.
