How to Use This Buffalo, Texas Map

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

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.

Buffalo occupies a quiet expanse of East Texas where the earth shifts from dense woodland to open, sun-bleached pasture. It lies 13.9 miles west-northwest of Brownwood, TX (from Brownwood, TX: bearing 294°T), and is situated 13.1 miles east of Coleman. The horizon remains level and vast, save for the subtle depression of Gobbler Hollow, which gathers the evening mist like a basin holding shadows. Sunlight here has a heavy, golden quality, thickening as it filters through the oaks to illuminate the red clay soil that defines the local landscape. Mud Creek cuts a modest, winding path through the brush just a mile away, its slow current carving the land with a patient, unhurried persistence. Beyond the immediate fields, the far-off rise of the Edwards Plateau lingers in the mind as a distant, jagged memory of higher ground, though the immediate terrain remains defined by the low, grassy swells of the prairie.

Buffalo maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life that finds its rhythm in the cyclical nature of the surrounding farmland and the persistent pulse of the regional transit corridors. The local economy relies on the steady exchange of goods and the quiet industry of those who work the land, a tradition that has anchored the area since its early settlement days. Residents often find their recreation at Thrifty Park, a modest stretch of green space that offers a reprieve from the heat, or they pass the time near the quiet banks of the Soil Conservation Service Site 28 Reservoir. There is a distinct, understated pride in the way Buffalo manages its daily affairs, favoring the weight of practical labor and neighborly familiarity over the frantic pace of larger metropolitan centers.

About This Buffalo Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Buffalo, Texas. Coordinates: 31.458905, -96.066163. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

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.
