2022 Map of Moran

About this map

Moran serves as the central hub of this West Texas landscape, situated right at the boundary where Shackelford and Callahan Counties meet. The town's grid is defined by historic thoroughfares like Railroad St and Fisher St, pointing to a legacy of early transport and local commerce. To the north, the terrain rises into the Greer Mountains, while Mugginsville Mtn and Round Top Mtn stand as prominent landmarks to the northeast. Water management is a defining characteristic of the modern era, with Moran Lake, Johnson Lake, and Wylie Lake punctuating the ranchlands. For those tracing family histories in the region, the map documents several burial sites including Moran Cem, Greer Cem, Johnson Cem, and Dennis Cem. The drainage patterns of Hubbard Creek and Cordwood Cr further illustrate the geography that dictated the placement of these early Texas settlements and rural roads.
