2010 Map of Rowena

About this map

Rowena anchors this portion of Runnels County, situated south of the meandering Colorado River. The community's local history is anchored by its clustered burial sites, including the Evergreen Cemetery, Saint Josephs Cemetery, and Protestant Cemetery, providing a clear map of the area's genealogical footprint. The landscape is a mix of agricultural plains and industrial sites, evidenced by the Rowena Oil Field to the east and the Kristoff School to the northwest. Numerous watercourses such as Indian Creek, Rocky Creek, and Antelope Creek carve through the terrain, eventually feeding into the river. A network of country roads, including River Rd and Pony Rd, connects these rural homesteads and schools, reflecting the enduring 20th-century settlement pattern of West Texas ranching and oil country.
