2016 Map of Crane

About this map

Crane serves as the focal point of this West Texas landscape, positioned where the grid of city streets meets the expansive networks of the surrounding oil and ranching country. The town's layout is bordered to the south by Crane Memorial Gardens and to the west by the Crane County Airport, illustrating the community's essential infrastructure in a region defined by its industrial activity. Beyond the municipal limits, the map reveals a dense lattice of named access roads, including Magnolia Loop and an extensive series of Chevron-named thoroughfares like Chevron Ave A, reflecting the area's deep ties to energy production. The natural terrain is marked by seasonal drainage features such as Landreth Draw and Mayfield Draw, which cut through the high plains. This map effectively documents the intersection of large-scale land use and local settlement, showing how cattle ranching along McElroy Ranch Rd and petroleum operations have shaped the modern geography of the county.
