Explore Caldwell, 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 Caldwell, 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 Caldwell.
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.

Caldwell holds the quiet heat of the plains, where the horizon stretches flat and wide under a sky that seems to press against the earth with an immense, dry weight. It lies 14.3 miles north-northwest of Lubbock, TX (from Lubbock, TX: bearing 336°T), and is situated 8.0 miles southwest of Abernathy. The landscape surrounding Caldwell consists of expansive, sun-bleached grasslands that catch the light in long, amber ripples, broken only by the occasional stand of stubborn scrub or the distant, shimmering haze of the inland heat. While the North Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River runs fourteen miles away, the ground here is defined by its parched, iron-rich soil and the way the air thins as it moves across the open expanse. Travelers seeking a moment of stillness often look toward Powell Field, which sits six miles out, offering a reprieve of wild, unmanicured brush where the wind carries the scent of dry earth and dormant grass.
Caldwell reflects the endurance of a place built on the steady cycles of agriculture and the patient, deliberate pace of regional commerce. The local economy remains tethered to the land, drawing its vitality from the deep-rooted traditions of ranching and the seasonal rhythm of the harvests that define the year. Life here turns on the quiet movements of the day, from the early light that illuminates the storefronts to the long, violet shadows that stretch across the streets as dusk settles over the plains. Even the proximity of the Lubbock Terminal Reservoir, eleven miles distant, serves as a reminder of the scarcity and value of water in this vast, inland territory. There is a singular, unadorned honesty in the way the local life organizes itself, favoring the permanence of the horizon over the fleeting noise of the outside world.

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.
