How to Use This Dodd, Texas Map

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

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.

About Dodd, Texas

Dodd is a locality in Castro County, Texas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 369. Dodd is located at 34.3351°N, 102.4791°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 79031.

Dodd occupies a vast, level expanse of the Texas interior where the horizon pulls the sky taut against the earth. It lies 33.5 miles south of Hereford, TX (from Hereford, TX: bearing 188°T), and is situated 15.9 miles east-northeast of Muleshoe. The landscape is defined by the unrelenting reach of open prairie, a terrain where the wind maintains a steady, scouring presence across the dry grasses. During the late afternoon, the light turns a distinctive, bruised gold, casting elongated shadows that emphasize the subtle shifts in elevation across the plains. While the distant horizon remains unbroken by significant peaks, the air holds a singular, arid clarity that makes every fence line and utility pole appear sharp against the haze.

Dodd emerged as a waypoint for those navigating the interior, its economy deeply anchored in the persistent cycles of agriculture and the maintenance of local land. The rhythms of life here are dictated by the seasonal demands of the harvest and the quiet, methodical work required to manage the surrounding acreage. Residents occasionally travel to the Playa Lakes Wildlife Management Area to observe the migratory patterns of birds that gather in the shallow depressions of the region, or they look toward the distant waters of Frye Lake for a change in the topography. History in Dodd is kept not in grand monuments, but in the enduring utility of its structures and the steady, unadorned persistence of its people who have long adapted to the demands of a life lived far from the reach of the coast.

About This Dodd Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dodd, Texas. Coordinates: 34.335077, -102.479089. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Dodd includes the ZIP code (79031), telephone area code (806), county seat of Castro County (Dimmitt), and school district assignment.

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.
