About this map

North Prong Pecan Bayou and Rough Creek define the drainage of this Callahan County landscape as it was documented in the mid-1960s. The terrain is a network of ridges and hollows, most notably Club Hollow and the valley of Mexia Creek in the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Petroleum development is evident throughout the area, with numerous Oil Wells and pipelines scattered across the ranch land, alongside several Gravel Pits.

Baird Lake sits at the northeast corner of the sheet, providing a significant water feature in an otherwise arid region of West Texas. The small settlement of Todd represents the primary human hub in this rural expanse, which is characterized by vast tracts of open land divided by property fence lines and a network of unimproved roads. The map captures the balance between traditional ranching and the encroaching industrial infrastructure of the mid-twentieth century.
