About this map

Oplin serves as the primary hub in this West Texas landscape, situated at the intersection of several regional farm-to-market roads. The topography is defined by the prominent Tecumseh Peak, which rises sharply above the surrounding plains. This area of Callahan County is characterized by a complex network of ephemeral waterways, including the S Prong Pecan Bayou and Clear Cr, which drain the varied terrain.

Several reservoirs managed for soil conservation, such as Soil Conservation Service Site 32 Reservoir, reflect the agricultural management of the region. Local history is anchored at Tecumseh Cem, located north of the peak, providing a point of interest for those tracing family roots in this rural community. The map details a transition from the elevated heights near Camp Br to the lower-lying areas around Straley Lake, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the local ranching and farming economy.
