How to Use This Arlington, Texas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Arlington, 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 Arlington.

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.

Arlington occupies a sprawling expanse of the North Texas plains, where the horizon stretches wide and the sky holds a vast, luminous quality during the late afternoon. It lies 6.4 miles west of Grand Prairie, TX (from Grand Prairie, TX: bearing 264°T), and is situated 9.8 miles southeast of North Richland Hills. The terrain is characterized by a subtle, undulating topography, shaped by the passage of Johnson Creek as it carves a path through the earth only a mile from the urban center. Travelers who look toward the distant horizon might catch a faint suggestion of the Devils Backbone, though the immediate surroundings remain dominated by the open, sun-drenched prairie. Residents find a quiet respite at Founders Plaza, which serves as a central point for reflection amidst the persistent energy of the surroundings. The air here carries the dry, warming scent of sun-baked soil and grasses, grounding the daily experience of Arlington in the raw, unadorned reality of the inland landscape.

Arlington traces its origins to the mid-nineteenth century, evolving from a modest agricultural settlement into a pivotal junction between major regional hubs. The early pioneers recognized the potential in the fertile prairie, establishing a community that prioritized trade and connectivity as the railroads gradually linked the surrounding wildlands to the wider nation. Over the decades, the landscape shifted from quiet fields to a structured grid, yet the legacy of those initial efforts remains evident in the way the streets are oriented toward the flow of commerce. The transformation of Arlington from a rural outpost into a significant nexus of activity reflects a deliberate persistence, where the endurance of the original settlers is mirrored in the modern expansion of the built environment.

Industry in Arlington thrives on a foundation of diverse economic engines, ranging from advanced manufacturing to a robust service sector that supports the broader region. The presence of the University of Texas at Arlington provides a steady stream of intellectual capital, fostering a culture of innovation that informs local development and infrastructure. Daily life is supported by an intricate network of roadways and public facilities, ensuring that the movement of goods and people remains fluid across the expansive terrain. Lake Arlington, resting just five miles away, serves as a vital resource for the population, offering a necessary balance to the industrial pace while providing a serene backdrop for the town’s ongoing growth and economic evolution.

Cultural life in Arlington pulses with the intensity of major professional sports, drawing crowds that transform the atmosphere into one of collective excitement and shared focus. Beyond the stadiums, the community celebrates its identity through annual festivals and gatherings that bring neighbors together under the expansive Texas light. The Johnson Creek Linear Park Trail offers a quiet, winding passage for those seeking to reconnect with the natural rhythm of the land, providing a stark, peaceful contrast to the high-energy events that define the public image of the area. Notable figures, including influential musicians and athletes, have emerged from this environment, carrying the distinct, industrious spirit of Arlington into the broader consciousness of the nation, while the local landmarks remain silent witnesses to a society that constantly looks toward the next horizon.

About This Arlington Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Arlington, Texas. Coordinates: 32.700708, -97.124691. 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 Arlington includes the ZIP code (76010, 76011, 76001), telephone area code (817, 682), county seat of Tarrant County (Fort Worth), and school district assignment (Arlington 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.
