Crane County, Texas

Crane Location Map Texas

Crane County is out in West Texas. It’s not big, and it’s not flashy. Oil is the name of the game here. You’ll find pump jacks across the landscape like giant metal grasshoppers.

You’d think a desert county would be boring, but you’d be wrong. The county seat is also named Crane. The high school football team, the Golden Cranes, is the pride of the county. They take their sports seriously around here.

Nature lovers, don’t write this place off. The draw of the open sky and the eerily beautiful desert is hard to resist. And if you’re into birds, you’re in luck. Despite the name, you won’t find any cranes, but the area’s a hotspot for desert-dwelling species.
