2022 Map of Oplin

About this map

The small rural community of Oplin serves as the focal point for this section of Callahan County, where Farm to Market roads intersect against a landscape defined by ranching and water management. Significant genealogical landmarks include the Tecumseh Cem and Oplin Cem, which preserve the history of the early families who settled this high ground. The terrain is marked by the prominent Tecumseh Peak, rising above the drainage basins of South Prong Pecan Bayou and Clear Cr. Modern land use is evident through various water-retention projects like the Soil Conservation Service Site 32 Reservoir and the Soil Conservation Service Site 110 Reservoir, designed to manage runoff in this part of the Texas plains. Numerous named branches, such as Lick Br and Camp Br, feed into the larger bayou system, illustrating the vital role of seasonal waterways in this environment.
