Explore Garfield, 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 Garfield, 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 Garfield.
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.

Garfield occupies a quiet expanse of land where the horizon settles into the low, scrubby brush and open fields characteristic of the central plains. It lies 4.4 miles south-southeast of Hornsby Bend, TX (from Hornsby Bend, TX: bearing 160°T), and is situated 6.0 miles east-southeast of Del Valle. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar, heavy clarity, bleaching the grasses to a pale straw color by mid-afternoon and casting long, sharp shadows across the dirt tracks that crisscross the terrain. Dry Creek slices through the local topography just a mile from the center, its bed often holding only the memory of water, lined by gnarled trees that endure the heat with a stubborn, quiet grace. Beyond the immediate perimeter, the land stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Edwards Plateau, marking the vast, inland reach of the state.
Garfield persists as a place defined by the slow, deliberate work of those who tend to the land and the quiet industry of the surrounding plains. The rhythm of daily life here remains tethered to the seasons, a stark contrast to the busier corridors lying a short distance away. Residents often find their respite at Confluence Park, a local space that provides a rare, shaded pause in the landscape, or they look toward the horizon where the openness of the country dictates the pace of the day. While the expansive, quiet stretches of Hemphill Prairie lie to the distance, the people of Garfield maintain a steady, grounded existence, rarely distracted by the rapid shifts occurring in the nearby urban centers.

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.
