Explore Clarendon, 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 Clarendon, 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 Clarendon.
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.

Clarendon anchors itself firmly upon the high, sun-bleached plains of the Texas Panhandle, where the horizon stretches into an infinite, pale expanse that swallows the day in a slow, golden inhalation. It lies 41.5 miles south of Pampa, TX (from Pampa, TX: bearing 174°T), and is situated 24.9 miles northwest of Memphis. The land around Clarendon unfolds in broad, stoic reaches of earth, broken only by the sharp, distant silhouette of Stinkhole Divide rising like a bruised spine against the northern sky. To the west, the earth drops away into the rugged, shadowed depths of Troublesome Canyon, a stark reminder of the forces that carved this high-plains geography. Near the center of the town, the quiet green of Clarendon City Park offers a reprieve from the relentless clarity of the light, while the waters of Clarendon Lake lie a brief mile away, reflecting the vast, cloudless dome of the prairie sky with a stillness that mirrors the soul of the landscape itself.
History lingers in the architecture of Clarendon, where the echoes of the early cattle drives and the arrival of the railroad shaped a legacy defined by resilience and the steady pulse of agrarian life. Beyond the immediate reach of town, the presence of Kelly Creek draws a thin, wandering line of life across the dry scrub, and the influence of the McClellan Creek National Grassland further east speaks to the preservation of the native prairie grasses that once carpeted these plains. The economy thrives on the quiet industry of the ranching tradition and the persistent, seasonal rhythms of the harvest, anchoring the people of Clarendon to the soil in a way that feels both ancient and immediate. Here, the passage of time is measured not by the clutter of modern excess, but by the shifting shadows of the afternoon and the way the wind carries the scent of dry earth and coming winter across the open range.

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.
