How to Use This Stamford, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Stamford, 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 Stamford.
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.

ZIP code: 79553.Stamford unfurls across a vast, sun-bleached expanse where the horizon pulls tight against the sky, defining the character of this inland prairie. It lies 34.6 miles north of Abilene, TX (from Abilene, TX: bearing 353°T), and is situated 15.2 miles south-southwest of Haskell. The landscape is defined by the steady, unyielding reach of open plains, punctuated only by the quiet flow of Stink Creek and the cooling presence of College Lake. To the west, the distant profile of Flat Top Mountain rises as a silent sentinel, its silhouette softening into a deep, hazy violet as the evening light drains from the fields. Within the immediate boundaries of the land, Unknown Park offers a quiet space for the prairie grasses to sway, undisturbed by the rush of the outside world, while the air remains clear and dry, carrying the faint, earthy scent of turned soil and distant brush.
Stamford carries the weight of a long agricultural tradition, its economy tethered to the cycles of the harvest and the persistent labor of those who work the surrounding plains. The streets bear the evidence of a place that values continuity, where the architecture reflects a pragmatic history built upon the steady growth of ranching and the regional trade that has defined its people for generations. Here, the rhythm of daily life aligns with the shifting seasons, a testament to a local culture that finds meaning in endurance and the honest labor of the land. Whether one is watching the amber light settle over the quiet streets or observing the industrious movement of the local economy, Stamford maintains a steady, deliberate pace that honors its place on the plains.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Stamford, Texas. Coordinates: 33.046193, -99.597021. 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 Stamford includes the ZIP code (79553), telephone area code (806), county seat of Jones County (Anson), and school district assignment (Stamford Independent School District).
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.
