About this map

Cottonwood serves as the central settlement hub of this Callahan County landscape, situated amid a complex network of ranch roads and water management sites. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, with the Sabana River and S Fork Leon River carving through the higher elevations. Significant local landmarks such as Mexican Hat Hill and E Caddo Peak provide prominent navigational points for the area.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Oglesby Cem and Caddo Peak Cem, which sit several miles apart in the rural countryside. The numerous Soil Conservation Service reservoirs, including Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 9 Reservoir, reflect a 20th-century emphasis on land management and flood control. Near the southern edge, the Ross Planes Airport and the outskirts of Cross Plains indicate the transition toward more developed areas.
