1968 Map of Rowden NW

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

North Prong Pecan Bayou and South Prong Pecan Bayou converge in this section of Callahan County, carving a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and upland divides. The late 1960s terrain shows a rural Texas economy transitioning between traditional ranching and active resource extraction. Evidence of industry is scattered throughout the drainages, notably with Oil Wells and a Drill Hole located near the northern prong, alongside various Gravel Pits that suggest local infrastructure development. The presence of a Roadside Park along the primary north-south thoroughfare highlights the integration of early highway travel into the remote landscape. Smaller tributaries like Clear Creek, Bear Branch, and Condemny Branch further define the local hydrology, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns that shaped land use and settlement in this part of West Central Texas.
