Explore Bushland, 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 Bushland, 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 Bushland.
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.

Bushland occupies a wide, level expanse of the high plains where the sky dominates the horizon and the earth stretches flat toward an infinite, pale blue distance. It lies 13.3 miles west of Amarillo, TX (from Amarillo, TX: bearing 261°T), and is situated 16.8 miles north-northwest of Canyon. The light here possesses a singular, piercing clarity, sharpening the edges of the dry grasses and casting long, thin shadows across the cracked, sun-baked soil as the day wanes. To the west, the subtle rise of Goat Mountain breaks the monotony of the plains, while the shallow, intermittent flow of Tecovas Creek carves a quiet path through the terrain. The air remains thin and crisp, carrying the scent of dust and dormant buffalo grass, undisturbed by the moisture of any distant coast.
Bushland maintains a character defined by the endurance of agriculture and the steady, rhythmic pulse of rail lines that bisect the landscape. While the echoes of early settlement linger in the quietude of the surrounding fields, the modern economy remains anchored to the productivity of the land and the transit of goods across the open country. Residents find a modest respite in the proximity of Sleepy Hollow Elementary School Park, a place where the local children mark the passage of seasons against a backdrop of sweeping wind. Though deeper waters like Lake Tanglewood or the drainage of Negro Arroyo lie at some distance, the life of Bushland is concentrated here, where the persistence of the Panhandle wind shapes the very fiber of the daily routine.

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.
