2019 Map of Cross Plains North

About this map

Cottonwood and the northern reaches of Cross Plains anchor this Callahan County landscape, illustrating a classic Texas pattern of rural settlement and managed water resources. The terrain is marked by distinctive topographic features like Mexican Hat Hill and East Caddo Peak, while the drainage system of Turkey Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and the Sabana River is heavily modified by the Soil Conservation Service. Over a dozen numbered reservoirs, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 21 Reservoir, demonstrate the mid-to-late 20th-century emphasis on flood control and livestock watering in this ranching region. Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks including Oglesby Cem and Caddo Peak Cem, alongside the infrastructure of the Ross Planes Airport and a dense network of county roads.
