2022 Map of Swenson

About this map

Swenson sits at the junction of several rural routes in Stonewall County, serving as a focal point for this expansive West Texas ranching landscape. The terrain is defined by dramatic topographic rises such as K U Peak and Keen Mtn, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses including the aptly named Stinking Cr and Turtle Cr. To the southwest, Parker Lake provides a rare permanent water feature in an otherwise arid environment. Evidence of early settlement and family history remains visible through local landmarks like the Shadle Cem near the eastern boundary and the Aspermont Cem to the south. The map documents a sparsely populated region where life revolves around a few key county roads and the vast, open cattle country that has characterized this portion of the Rolling Plains for generations.
