Explore Dalhart, 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 Dalhart, 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 Dalhart.
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.

Dalhart endures as a vast expanse of high plains where the horizon stretches thin and clear against an immense, unyielding sky. It lies 33.0 miles west-northwest of Dumas, TX (from Dumas, TX: bearing 294°T), and is situated 28.5 miles west of Cactus. The landscape shifts in color from the parched gold of late summer grass to the deep, muted gray of winter storms sweeping across the open flatlands. Only eighteen miles away, the Syndicate Hills rise as a subtle ripple against the distant edge of the earth. Residents often find quiet refuge at Kella Hill Park, a local space that anchors the immediate terrain. Nearby, the water of Rita Blanca Lake reflects the passing clouds, while the adjacent Rita Blanca Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the soil. Travelers following the Lake Rita Blanca State Park Trail witness a silent, stark beauty that defines the character of this high country.
Dalhart emerged from the intersection of two major rail lines, a junction that fundamentally shaped its path as a hub for the cattle trade and regional commerce. The local economy remains deeply rooted in the sturdy traditions of agriculture, with feedlots and sprawling ranches forming the backbone of daily productivity. Wind energy has recently joined these long-standing industries, with turbines catching the relentless gusts that move across the plains. History here is measured in the steady persistence of those who work the land, acknowledging the harsh reality of drought and the reward of a successful harvest. Dalhart maintains a resilient industrial spirit, focused on providing essential goods and services to the surrounding rural expanse. The daily rhythm is dictated by the needs of livestock and the seasonal cycles of the grain trade, anchoring the population in a pragmatic and hardworking reality.
Dalhart hosts a cultural identity defined by the camaraderie of the plains and the shared values of a frontier history. The XIT Museum serves as a primary landmark, preserving the memory of the immense ranching operation that once dominated the surrounding territory. Each year, the XIT Rodeo and Reunion brings people together to celebrate these roots, filling the air with the sounds of competition and community gathering. While the town is modest in its offerings, it carries a sense of purpose found in the quiet integrity of its citizens. Notable figures such as the musician Buddy Holly have connections to the region, as he was born in nearby Lubbock and spent his early years forming the musical style that would define a generation. Dalhart remains a place where the quality of light at dusk softens the sharp edges of the grain silos and fences, offering a brief, golden moment of stillness before the stars emerge in the dark, expansive night.

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.
