How to Use This Barksdale, Texas Map

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

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.

Barksdale emerges from the limestone-laced earth as a quiet gathering of structures where the Nueces River carves a persistent, silver path through the rugged terrain. It lies 38.6 miles north-northwest of Uvalde, TX (from Uvalde, TX: bearing 337°T), and is situated 57.6 miles east-northeast of Del Rio. The landscape here favors the patient observer, defined by scrub-oak thickets and the sun-bleached expanse of the surrounding plains that stretch toward the distant silhouette of the Edwards Plateau. Sunlight at dusk catches the jagged edges of the local geology, turning the gray stone into a warm, transient amber that softens the stark clarity of the inland air. A few miles to the north, the terrain dips into the quiet seclusion of Racetrack Hollow, a basin that holds the cool shadows of the evening long after the ridgelines have lost their glow.

Barksdale maintains a stubborn, agrarian character anchored by the rhythms of ranching and the seasonal pulse of the land. Economic life here remains tied to the vitality of the soil and the grazing of livestock, preserving a way of existence that values the endurance of a fence line over the haste of modern commerce. Travelers passing through might glimpse the influence of heritage in the modest architecture that prioritizes function against the relentless heat, a legacy of families who settled these dry stretches decades ago. While the wilderness remains vast, the proximity of Krause Ranch offers a reminder of the wilder, unmanaged life that persists just beyond the managed pastures, defining Barksdale as a place where the human imprint remains modest against the expansive, quiet gravity of the high plains.
