How to Use This Ira, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ira, 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 Ira.
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 Ira, Texas
Ira is a locality in Scurry County, Texas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 280. The population density is 5.0 people per km². Ira is located at 32.5821°N, 101.0021°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 79527.Ira occupies a vast, sun-bleached expanse where the horizon stretches toward an infinite sky, defining the rugged character of the Scurry County plains. It lies 10.6 miles south-southwest of Snyder, TX (from Snyder, TX: bearing 208°T), and is situated 15.6 miles north-northwest of Colorado City. Canyon Creek traces a shallow, winding path just a mile away, its banks marked by stubborn brush that clings to the arid earth. To the east, the Red Hills rise as a silent, weathered sentinel against the fading light, while the deeper shadows of Cedar Canyon suggest the ancient, slow erosion of the landscape. At dusk, the atmosphere takes on a bruised, violet hue, casting long, thin silhouettes across the dry grasses that ripple in the steady, restless wind.
Ira maintains a quiet resilience, rooted in an economy that draws its strength from the soil and the deep, subterranean resources of the region. The proximity of the J.B. Thomas Reservoir Marina provides a rare, shimmering contrast to the surrounding ranch land, where the pace of life is dictated by the turning of the seasons rather than the frantic ticking of a clock. Local history lingers in the weathered fence lines and the occasional sight of a distant pump jack, a testament to a livelihood extracted from the grit of the plains. Even the distant water of Bozeman Tank serves as a subtle anchor for the local livestock, ensuring that life persists in this parched, beautiful corner of the world.

About This Ira Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ira, Texas. Coordinates: 32.582056, -101.002063. 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 Ira includes the ZIP code (79527), telephone area code (806), county seat of Scurry County (Snyder), 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.
