Explore Hackberry, 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 Hackberry, 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 Hackberry.
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.

Hackberry defines the horizon with a sprawling, sun-bleached expanse where the earth meets a sky of immense, unblinking clarity. It lies 26.5 miles southeast of Lubbock, TX (from Lubbock, TX: bearing 139°T), and is situated 11.5 miles south-southeast of Slaton. The landscape is a study in quiet endurance, characterized by the parched, rhythmic rise of the plains that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Courthouse Mountain. Four miles to the west, the winding path of South Dokegood Creek carves a shallow, seasonal scar through the clay, providing a fleeting sanctuary for hardy grasses and low-slung brush. Ten miles away, the surface of Tahoka Lake mirrors the shifting amber of late afternoon, catching the light in a way that turns the water into a sheet of hammered copper before the cooling shadows of dusk claim the dry, fragrant air.
Hackberry carries the weight of a long-standing agrarian heritage, where the local economy remains tethered to the stubborn productivity of the soil and the seasonal cycles of the land. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the geography yields to the deeper depressions of Red Hollow, where the terrain shifts and settles into a stillness that has persisted for generations. Those who live here often venture toward the quiet trails of Elgie Allen Park, finding a reprieve from the heat beneath the shade of native timber that clings to the limestone-rich ground. In Hackberry, the pace of life follows the slow, deliberate turning of the seasons, marked by the persistent, dry rustle of wind through the brush and the steady labor of a people who have learned to thrive in the wide, open spaces of the interior.

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.
