Explore Bovina, 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 Bovina, 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 Bovina.
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.

Bovina extends across the flat, high plains where the horizon pulls the sky down to meet the earth in a seamless, unbroken line. It lies 34.6 miles southwest of Hereford, TX (from Hereford, TX: bearing 233°T), and is situated 19.8 miles east-northeast of Clovis. The land around Bovina remains defined by its immense, unobstructed breadth, where the soil holds a deep, dusty ochre hue and the wind moves with an unceasing, rhythmic constancy. To the east, the terrain dips slightly into the shallow, dry depression of Catfish Draw, while the quiet waters of Mustang Lake sit nearby, reflecting the intense, unfiltered clarity of the panhandle sun. Here, the atmosphere possesses a sharp, clean quality, and as dusk descends, the shadows stretch across the fields in long, thin fingers of violet and slate, cooling the air until the stars appear with a stark, piercing brilliance.
Agriculture dictates the pulse of Bovina, as the economy remains tied to the cycles of the harvest and the persistent industry of the cattle pens. Though the distant, seasonal flow of Tierra Blanca Creek serves as a reminder of the region’s hydrological limits, the local reliance on irrigation has transformed the surrounding prairie into a grid of verdant crops that contrast against the rugged, arid character of the plains. Life in Bovina follows the steady, predictable pace of a rail-side settlement, shaped by decades of labor in the fields and the influence of nearby recreational spots like Ball Park, which provides a communal anchor for the residents. People here carry a quiet fortitude, a character forged by the isolation of the plains and a long history of enduring the extremes of the weather, maintaining a stubborn, productive presence in a landscape that demands both respect and resilience.

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.
