2022 Map of Rowden NW

About this map

Pecan Bayou and its numerous branches dominate this portion of Callahan County, revealing a landscape defined by water management and drainage. The convergence of the N Prong Pecan Bayou and S Prong Pecan Bayou highlights a complex network of seasonal creeks, including Clear Cr, Bear Br, and the oddly named Condemn Br. This area is characterized by significant agricultural infrastructure, specifically multiple Soil Conservation Service projects. Large reservoirs such as Soil Conservation Service Site 12 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Reservoir illustrate mid-to-late 20th-century efforts to control runoff and support ranching operations in the Texas Rolling Plains. The map also documents a web of private access roads and county routes like Co RD 479 and FM 2926, which connect the isolated homesteads and pastures typical of this rural region.
