Explore Crawford, 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 Crawford, 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 Crawford.
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.

Crawford marks the transition where the flat, black-soil plains of the east begin to yield to the rugged, limestone-streaked terrain of the central interior. It lies 15.4 miles west-northwest of Hewitt, TX (from Hewitt, TX: bearing 289°T), and is situated 6.5 miles north-northwest of McGregor. Tonk Creek carves a winding path through the local landscape, its narrow, shaded corridor offering a persistent ribbon of moisture that supports thickets of elm and hackberry amidst the wider expanse of prairie grass. The air here holds a particular, heavy clarity at dusk, when the light flattens against the horizon and the heat of the day releases in a slow, cooling sigh. To the west, the land rises in subtle, uneven swells, hinting at the more dramatic elevations of Wildcat Canyon, while the distant silhouette of Hubby Hill serves as a quiet, unchanging anchor for the skyline.
Agriculture defines the pulse of Crawford, with wide fields of wheat and sorghum stretching toward the horizon, reflecting a long history of cattle ranching and dry-land farming that remains the bedrock of the local economy. The pace of life is dictated by the turning of the seasons and the demands of the soil, maintaining a quiet consistency that favors the deliberate over the hurried. Beyond the main thoroughfare, the quietude of the surroundings is rarely broken, save for the occasional drive toward Amsler Park or the seasonal maintenance of nearby agricultural infrastructure. Even as modernity touches the edges of the region, Crawford retains the character of a place where the primary connections are between the people, their livestock, and the expansive, sun-drenched sky that defines the day.

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.
