How to Use This Carlton, Texas Map

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

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.

Carlton occupies a stretch of North Central Texas where the horizon flattens into an expansive, quiet prairie defined by the slow persistence of the elements. It lies 21.0 miles south of Stephenville, TX (from Stephenville, TX: bearing 175°T), and is situated 15.2 miles southeast of Dublin. The land around Carlton pulls away from the jagged shadows of the distant Edwards Plateau, favoring instead a scrub-dotted expanse where the light at dusk turns the dry grasses into a shimmering, brittle copper. Only a mile away, the shallow, meandering bed of Rocky Creek cuts through the silt, its banks lined with weathered hardwoods that lean toward the water as if listening for the return of seasonal rains. Four miles to the north, the Soil Conservation Service Site 24 Reservoir holds a mirror to the vast, cloud-streaked sky, providing a rare gathering point for the local fauna amidst the otherwise parched and open range.

Agriculture remains the pulse of the local economy, with the rhythm of the year dictated by the cycles of planting and the steady maintenance of livestock fences. Carlton exists as a place of deliberate endurance, its identity forged in the stillness of the plains and the modest architecture of wood and tin that has weathered decades of sun and wind. While the bustle of larger regional centers feels worlds away, the proximity of Owl Hollow and the recreational space at Hico City Park serve as reminders of the rugged, unadorned topography that defines this section of the state. Life here moves with the gravity of the land itself, emphasizing a quiet focus on the seasonal harvest and the enduring strength of those who remain tethered to the soil.
