About this map

The town of Grandfalls serves as the hub of this West Texas landscape, where an intricate network of irrigation systems defines the local geography. Situated along the boundary of Ward and Pecos counties, the area is sustained by the winding course of the Pecos River. A complex infrastructure of water management is visible through features like the Grandfalls Canal, Van Carr Canal, and the Imperial Canal, which draw from the river to support the arid surrounding plains.

South of the main settlement, the Imperial Reservoir and Imperial Ditch further illustrate the historical reliance on managed water resources for agriculture and industry. Local landmarks such as the Tamarisk Cem and family-named routes like Perryman Rd provide valuable points of reference for genealogists. The grid of service roads and laterals, including the N Lateral, creates a distinct geometric pattern across the terrain, reflecting the systematic development of the Permian Basin region.
