Explore Spade, 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 Spade, 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 Spade.
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.

Spade occupies a vast, level expanse of the high plains, where the horizon stretches outward like a taut, sun-bleached canvas. It lies 26.7 miles north-northeast of Levelland, TX (from Levelland, TX: bearing 29°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east of Littlefield. The sky here possesses an immense, hollow clarity, pressing down upon the flat earth with a weight that makes every fence post and utility pole stand in sharp, dark relief against the gold of the soil. While the landscape lacks the dramatic verticality of mountain ranges, the subtle shifts in light during the late afternoon lend the ground a shimmering, transient quality, as if the earth were breathing in the heat. Those seeking a respite from the open expanse might find a singular, quiet interest in the sparse, wind-scoured terrain that leads toward the distant, shimmering depression of Illusion Lake, or perhaps in the modest greenery found eight miles away at Anton City Park.
Spade emerged from the ambition of the early agricultural frontier, establishing a local economy that remains deeply tethered to the rhythmic cycles of cotton cultivation and the stubborn, deep-rooted industry of the plains. The character of the people here is shaped by the necessity of endurance, a trait mirrored in the sturdy, unadorned architecture that defines the local grid. Life in Spade moves in accordance with the seasons of the harvest, characterized by the low, insistent drone of machinery that occasionally breaks the silence of the wide-open prairie. There is a distinct, understated dignity in how the local residents organize their days, finding a quiet satisfaction in the maintenance of their fields and the preservation of a way of life that values the tangible over the decorative.

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.
