How to Use This Butterfield, Texas Map

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

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.

Butterfield stretches across a stark, expansive high desert landscape where the horizon is defined by the jagged silhouette of the Hueco Mountains rising in the distance. It lies 11.8 miles north-northeast of Horizon City, TX (from Horizon City, TX: bearing 34°T), and is situated 4.3 miles east-northeast of Homestead Meadows South. The air here holds a crystalline clarity, sharpening the edges of the scrub brush and the pale, sun-bleached earth that characterizes the basin floor near Pow Wow Canyon. A mile away, the quiet surface of Neals Tank reflects the shifting hues of a sky that transitions from bruised violet to a pale, translucent gold as the sun retreats. This terrain is defined by its resilience, a rugged expanse where the silence is as vast as the land itself, punctuated only by the occasional dry rustle of wind through the sparse, hardy vegetation.

Butterfield maintains a quiet equilibrium, anchored by a history rooted in the grit of the frontier and the steady, unyielding labor of regional ranching. The economic pulse of the locality remains tethered to the land, drawing sustenance from the arid plains and the distant, life-giving flow of the Franklin Feeder. Residents often find their way toward the rugged paths of the Hueco Tanks State Historical Park Trail or seek the stark, open serenity of Estrella Park, spaces that serve as reminders of the landscape’s enduring sovereignty. Life in Butterfield moves with a deliberate, measured pace, a testament to those who have learned to thrive in a climate where the light is stark, the shadows are deep, and the primary architecture is the horizon itself.

About This Butterfield Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Butterfield, Texas. Coordinates: 31.842626, -106.082195. 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 Butterfield includes the ZIP code (79938), telephone area code (915), county seat of El Paso County (El Paso), and school district assignment (Clint Independent School District).

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.
