About this map

Industrial infrastructure and ranching routes define this portion of Crane County as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The landscape is marked by a distinctive network of private and service roads named for the region's energy legacy, including Pennzoil Loop and Exxon Loop. These names reveal the intensive oil and gas development that has shaped the local economy and land use patterns over decades.

Connecting these industrial corridors are more traditional rural thoroughfares such as FM 1053 N and Ranch Rd 1233, which link the interior to broader Texas transport networks. Local family names are preserved on the land through landmarks like Jim Tubbs Rd and Tubbs Rd, while Warren Plant Rd and Sandhills Headquarters Rd point toward specific commercial and administrative hubs in the Permian Basin region.
