2012 Map of Oplin

About this map

Tecumseh Peak rises above the ranchlands of Callahan County, marking a landscape defined by cattle country and the petroleum industry. This portion of West Texas is drained by the S Prong Pecan Bayou and its numerous tributaries, including Little Rocky Cr and Clear Cr. The settlement of Oplin serves as a small community hub at the junction of several county roads and ranch-to-market routes like FM-604. A network of water management features, such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 11a Reservoir, illustrates the region's reliance on engineered catchment for agricultural and conservation purposes. Genealogists may find value in the location of the Tecumseh Cem, while the Dumont Oil Field signifies the ongoing importance of energy extraction in this part of the state.
