Explore Seminole, 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 Seminole, 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 Seminole.
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.

Seminole occupies a vast, sun-drenched expanse of the Southern High Plains where the horizon stretches flat and wide in every direction. It lies 28.3 miles north-northwest of Andrews, TX (from Andrews, TX: bearing 348°T), and is situated 16.2 miles south-southwest of Seagraves. The landscape around Seminole remains defined by its immense sky, which shifts from a pale, dusty blue to a deep, bruised violet as the afternoon heat recedes into the cool of twilight. Six miles to the west, the subtle depression of Wardswell Draw cuts a quiet, ancient path across the terrain, interrupting the otherwise unbroken reach of the earth. Twenty-one miles away, the alkaline bed of Shafter Lake offers a stark, shimmering contrast to the surrounding fields. Residents often gather at Garden Club Park to find a patch of shade, appreciating the deliberate cultivation of greenery against the backdrop of the rugged, arid horizon.
Seminole grew from the necessity of the land, evolving as a hub for the industrious souls who mastered the challenges of the high plains. Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the economy, with vast cotton fields and peanut crops testifying to the fertility hidden beneath the dry surface. Decades of oil and gas extraction have further shaped the development of Seminole, grounding the local identity in the rhythmic labor of the fields and the steady hum of mechanical pumps. This industry provides a resilient foundation, supporting a population that values the quiet dignity of hard work. The atmosphere of the workplace is one of focus and endurance, where the changing seasons dictate the tempo of life. Every harvest brings a sense of accomplishment, reflecting the deep connection between the residents and the soil they cultivate.
The cultural character of Seminole is defined by a blend of tradition and a pragmatic, forward-looking spirit that honors the legacy of its founders. Local life often centers on the high school athletic programs, where Friday night traditions draw the community together under the bright glare of stadium lights. Notable figures such as the professional football player Donny Anderson emerged from these local fields, carrying the disciplined work ethic of the region onto a larger stage. Community gatherings are frequent, marked by a genuine, understated hospitality that welcomes neighbors to share in the successes of the season. Public spaces like Garden Club Park serve as quiet anchor points for social life, offering a reprieve from the relentless intensity of the plains sun. Despite the vast distances between neighbors, the social fabric remains tightly knit, sustained by shared values and a common history.

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.
