2013 Map of Callan

About this map

The small settlement of Callan serves as the central point for this Menard County landscape, situated where Callan Ln and Callan Number 1 Rd meet. The area is defined by a series of north-south drainage systems, including Reubes Cr, Fountain Cr, and Needle Cr, which feed into several water management projects. These include the Soil Conservation Service Site 19 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 18a Reservoir, reflecting the 20th-century emphasis on flood control and livestock watering in this ranching region. Genealogists and local historians can locate Loveless Cem in the northern portion of the map, while the placement of Lockett Lake and various county roads like Co Rd 3615 indicate the enduring rural infrastructure of the early 21st century.
