2010 Map of Rowlett

About this map

Lake Ray Hubbard dominates the southeastern quadrant of this North Texas study, its expansive waters meeting the residential edges of Rowlett and Dalrock. By the early 21st century, the suburban landscape had largely replaced the rural character of the area, though remnants of the past remain in the form of numerous small burial grounds. Genealogists can locate Cottonwood Cemetery and Pleasant Valley Cemetery in the north, while Big A Cemetery and McShan Cemetery sit nestled among the growing subdivisions. The terrain is defined by the convergence of several waterways including Rowlett Creek, Muddy Creek, and Maxwell Creek, which are managed by a series of dams like Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Dam. Small local landmarks like the Madeira Airpark and the Ganze Ranch Airstrip reflect the region's diverse land use as it transitioned from open ranching to a thriving residential hub.
