1967 Map of Oplin

About this map

Oplin serves as the primary settlement hub in this Callahan County landscape, situated where the terrain begins to rise toward the prominent Tecumseh Peak. The geography is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses, including the South Prong Pecan Bayou and Pecan Bayou, which carve through the ranching and energy-producing lands of West Texas. Industrial activity is concentrated in the Dumont Oil Field to the north, while local infrastructure such as a rural Landing Strip and various Gravel Pits reflect the area's mid-century economic utility. For those researching local lineages, the Tecumseh Cem and an additional unmarked Cem provide important genealogical touchstones within this sparsely populated cattle and oil country.
