Alanreed, TX: US-66 Texaco Gas Station

(Satellite)

US-66 Overview

In its day, this would have been a high-capacity station. Normally, a station on a corner would have just one island on a 45-degree angle.

The pumps must have been added since the above Jan 2026 view.

Kiser "66" Super Service Station, Alanreed Texas. June 2026. I've heard this part of the country described as an "in-between place." From my experience, that's correct. I love being on this stretch with no particular place to be, in no particular hurry. The loneliness and vastness make it beautiful. This service station recently received a clean-up. It looks great. From this vantage, it's hard to believe this stretch of road leads one to Beverly Hills and ultimately, Santa Monica.

We were there in June of this [2026] year

Did the red thing dispense oil?

Was there this [2026] summer. Awesome piece of roadside archeology.

Someone had to do a lot of chainsaw work.
