2022 Map of Crane NW

About this map

The West Texas landscape north of Crane is defined by its industrial road network and the gentle incision of ephemeral watercourses. The broad drainage of Landreth Draw trends across the lower half of the quadrangle, a significant terrain feature in this arid region. The map documents an extensive grid of service roads that reflect the area's role in the regional petroleum and energy sectors, including Arco Plant Rd, Arco Rd, and S Exxon Rd. These names provide a direct link to the corporate and logistical history of the Permian Basin, while roads like Sand Camp Rd and Dump Ground Rd mark localized landmarks and land use patterns. This 2022 survey captures the contemporary infrastructure of the oil fields, where rural routes like FM 1601 N connect industrial sites to the broader region.
