1967 Map of Oplin

About this map

Tecumseh Peak rises prominently above the surrounding plains of Callahan County, anchoring a landscape where ranching and early petroleum interests define the rural character. The small community of Oplin sits at a crossroads in the southern portion of the sheet, serving as a hub for the scattered homesteads and pastures that stretch across the drainage basins of Clear Creek and South Prong Pecan Bayou. Local genealogy and land use patterns are etched into the map through features like the Tecumseh Cem and another unidentified Cem further north, alongside numerous Gravel Pits that suggest a reliance on local materials for road building and infrastructure. The topography is intricately carved by seasonal waterways such as Rocky Creek and Little Creek, while a single Oil Well near the northern border points to the subterranean resources that have historically supplemented the region's agricultural economy.
