How to Use This Abernathy, Texas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Abernathy, Texas. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Texas or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Abernathy.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Abernathy occupies a vast, level expanse of the Llano Estacado where the sky asserts a dominance over the horizon that leaves little room for pretense. It lies 17.6 miles north of Lubbock, TX (from Lubbock, TX: bearing 2°T), and is situated 13.3 miles northeast of Shallowater. The landscape remains defined by an unrelenting flatness, an open prairie where the wind carries the dry, earthy scent of turned soil and the subtle, metallic tang of distant irrigation pivots. Within this expanse, Abernathy Community Park offers a quiet interval of green, a modest anchor of shade amidst the pervasive gold and brown hues of the High Plains. While the North Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River lies seventeen miles to the south, the water here is a memory carved into the earth, leaving the immediate terrain to focus on the relentless expansion of the plains under a sun that bleaches the color from the midday grass.

Agriculture serves as the pulse of the local economy, with the rhythm of the seasons dictated by the cycles of cotton planting and harvest that define the life of the people. Abernathy grew from a vision of rail-side commerce, evolving into a place where the work of the day is measured by the steady hum of machinery and the endurance required to thrive in a semi-arid climate. Residents often look toward the regional centers or toward the recreational reprieve offered by Buffalo Springs Lake, yet the character of the place remains rooted in the resilience of those who cultivate this high, windswept country. Even as the hours stretch long across the fields, there is a particular dignity in the way the light catches the dust at dusk, illuminating a stubborn, enduring connection to the land that has sustained the inhabitants through generations.

About This Abernathy Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Abernathy, Texas. Coordinates: 33.832304, -101.842949. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Abernathy includes the ZIP code (79311), telephone area code (806), county seat of Hale County (Plainview), and school district assignment (Abernathy Independent School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
