How to Use This Southland, Texas Map

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

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.

Southland defines itself through the vast, sun-bleached expanse of the Texas plains, where the horizon stretches into an infinite, pale arc of sky. It lies 23.1 miles southeast of Lubbock, TX (from Lubbock, TX: bearing 130°T), and is situated 7.5 miles southeast of Slaton. The land here remains stubbornly level, punctuated only by the subtle depression of Red Hollow six miles to the west and the faint, jagged silhouette of Indian Ridge rising in the distance. Harvey Creek meanders through the periphery, its banks marked by the persistent scrub and hardy brush that define this arid interior. During the twilight hours, the light flattens against the earth, turning the dry grasses into a shimmering, monochromatic copper that makes the air feel heavy with the weight of the day’s heat. Residents often find their way to the quiet perimeter of Janes-Prentice Lake, where the water offers a brief, dark contrast to the surrounding dust, providing a sanctuary for those who favor the stillness of the open range.

Southland maintains a quiet, industrious character rooted in the cycles of the agricultural economy that have long sustained the surrounding acreage. The rhythm of life here moves in accordance with the harvest and the persistent demands of the soil, a pattern established by the early settlers who recognized the potential in this wide, unyielding territory. While the proximity to Elgie Allen Park offers a modest space for local recreation, the true spirit of the place is found in the daily operations of its farms and the modest storefronts that serve the regional needs. There is a particular, enduring dignity in the way Southland goes about its business, indifferent to the frantic pace of larger urban centers. The people here possess a grounded awareness of their isolation, finding a distinct, solitary beauty in the way the wind moves across the plains, undisturbed and constant, year after year.
