About this map

The Iraan townsite occupies a strategic bend of the Pecos River at the boundary of Pecos and Crockett Counties. Established during the Permian Basin oil boom, the town's layout is recorded here with distinctive street names like Alley Oop Ln, a nod to the local connection with cartoonist V.T. Hamlin. The surrounding arid landscape is deeply incised by drainage systems, including Simpson Canyon, which feeds into the river from the northeast.

Evidence of the community’s development is found in the Iraan Municipal Airport and the local resting places at Restland Cem and Memory Garden Cem. The terrain is characterized by winding access routes such as Long Loop Rd and Short Loop Rd, which navigate the complex topography above the river valley. This survey provides a precise record of the infrastructure and land use in this part of West Texas during the early 21st century.
