1970 Map of Callan

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor cuts a diagonal path through the heart of the Concho and Menard county line, serving the small community of Callan. This landscape, documented just before the 1970s, is defined by an extensive network of seasonal watercourses including Reubes Creek, Fountain Creek, and the multi-branched Scalp Creek. The presence of several spillways and riser structures along these drainages indicates a controlled water management system designed to mitigate the effects of flash flooding in the West Texas draws. Genealogists will find the Loveless Cem in the north and the settlement of Wilhelm to the south. The rural infrastructure of the era is further highlighted by a private Landing Strip and local gravel pits, reflecting the modest industrial and transportation needs of this ranching region.
