Explore Anthony, Texas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Anthony, 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 Anthony.
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.

Anthony sits upon a wide, sun-scorched expanse where the arid plains stretch toward the jagged, violet-hued silhouettes of the Franklin Mountains standing nine miles to the east. It lies 16.8 miles northwest of Fort Bliss, TX (from Fort Bliss, TX: bearing 320°T), and is situated 6.1 miles north of Canutillo. The Anthony Wash carves a shallow, gravelly path through the earth, marking the land with a dry, persistent channel that speaks to the rare but sudden violence of desert rains. Light here possesses a crystalline clarity, sharpening the edges of every mesquite bush and fence post until the world looks like a photograph held too close to the eye. Five miles away, the surface of Beech Tank remains a still, reflective sliver in the scrub, a quiet witness to the heat that radiates off the ground long after the sun has begun its slow descent.
Anthony thrives at the confluence of history and the modern border-country pulse, serving as a gateway where the pace of life is dictated by the rhythmic expansion of industry and the endurance of cross-cultural trade. Daily activity centers around the Anthony Baseball Park, where the dust of the diamond catches the amber glow of the late afternoon, anchoring the social life of a place that values hard work and local loyalty. The economic character of Anthony remains tethered to its strategic position, drawing strength from the transit of goods and the steady, industrious spirit of its residents. While the Resler Drive Walk and Bike Trail waits eight miles away for those seeking the quiet solitude of the desert, the heart of Anthony beats in the steady hum of commerce and the shared, familiar silence of the Vinton Canyon horizon.

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.
