About this map

Girvin sits at a strategic West Texas junction where high-desert ranching and energy production meet the winding course of the Pecos River. This 2022 survey captures a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and industrial infrastructure, most notably south of the town where Girvin Butte rises as a prominent landmark. The community's history is tied to the transit corridors of FM 11 and Old Girvin Rd, serving as a gateway for local commerce and the oil industry, evidenced by the presence of the Crane Oil Lease Rd.

Boundaries for Crane, Pecos, and Crockett counties converge here, highlighting the importance of the river as a natural and political divider. Researchers can identify local landmarks such as the Girvin Cem and the seasonal path of Comanche Cr, which feeds into the Pecos. The map illustrates how modern energy extraction and traditional ranching coexist across the arid plains of the Trans-Pecos region.
