The River Bladnoch runs to the east of the village and the River Tarff to the west.
A map of the area/parish can be seen at the National Library of Scotland, on the John Ainslie map AD1782.
Kirkcowan's principal industry has historically been agriculture, although in the 19th century two woollen mills were erected on the River Tarff.
The village of Kirkcowan lies on the road to Wigtown, situated between the rivers Tarff and Bladnoch.
The A75 road runs through Kirkcowan and forms part of the London–Belfast route. The road is also part of the international E-road, European route E18.
