How to Use This Buffalo Springs, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Buffalo Springs, 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 Springs.
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.

About Buffalo Springs, Texas
Buffalo Springs is a locality in Dallam County, Texas, United States. Buffalo Springs is located at 36.4867°N, 102.7594°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 76228, 79022, 79404.Buffalo Springs occupies a vast, sun-bleached expanse of the high plains where the sky asserts itself with an unrelenting, pale clarity. It lies 61.4 miles northwest of Dumas, TX (from Dumas, TX: bearing 315°T), and is situated 32.5 miles north-northwest of Dalhart. Coldwater Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth here, its banks lined with hardy grasses that sway in the persistent wind, while the horizon remains wide and unobstructed, interrupted only by the distant, hazy silhouette of Rardin Hill. A mile from the edge of the residential grid, the Rita Blanca National Grassland stretches out as a resilient sea of native prairie, providing a sanctuary for wildlife and a reminder of the landscape before the plow. At dusk, the light pulls long, thin shadows across the dirt, turning the dry soil into a muted gold that feels both ancient and immediate.
Buffalo Springs remains tethered to the rhythmic cycles of agriculture and the quiet persistence of the ranching industry that has defined these plains for generations. The economy draws its strength from the surrounding acreage, where the seasonal labor of planting and harvest dictates the tempo of daily life. Residents often look toward Flater Lake for a brief respite from the heat, or navigate the rugged terrain toward Compound Draw, where the topography shifts into deeper, more weathered creases. Life in Buffalo Springs moves with a deliberate, unhurried gravity, shaped by the isolation of the plains and the shared understanding that the land requires a particular kind of endurance to inhabit.

About This Buffalo Springs Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Buffalo Springs, Texas. Coordinates: 36.486693, -102.759362. 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 Buffalo Springs includes the ZIP code (76228, 79022, 79404), telephone area code (806), county seat of Dallam County (Dalhart), and school district assignment.
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.
