About this map

Horsehead Crossing marks a significant historical landmark on this map, situated where the tightly winding Pecos River forms the boundary of Crane Co. This section of the river valley is defined by its industrial and agricultural water infrastructure, featuring the Imperial Canal No 5 and several Gravel Pits. The landscape transitions from the riparian corridor of the river to the arid expanse of the Salt Flat, punctuated by the Bayview Oil Field and Crossett Oil Field. Extensive networks of pipelines and drill holes illustrate the mid-century petroleum development across the West Texas scrub. To the east, the seasonal Soda Lake sits amidst a terrain carved by intermittent waterways like Comanche Creek and Leon Cr, while the Smith Ranch and a Pumping Sta represent the sparse human footprint in this resource-rich basin.
