How to Use This Stanton, Texas Map

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

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.

Stanton spreads across the high, arid plains of West Texas, where the horizon stretches wide enough to swallow the light of the setting sun in a single, lingering gulp. It lies 19.2 miles east-northeast of Midland, TX (from Midland, TX: bearing 62°T), and is situated 9.4 miles northeast of Greenwood. The earth here is a pale, sun-bleached expanse, marked by the sparse resilience of scrub brush and the occasional shadow cast by the distant, hazy silhouette of Hog Mountain. Three miles away, Red Tank holds the stillness of the landscape, its surface reflecting the vast, cloudless dome above with a quiet, unadorned clarity. When the wind moves across the dry ground, it carries the scent of baked dust and sage, a reminder that the moisture of the world is a rare, precious thing in this expanse of flat, open country.

History in Stanton is measured in the steady persistence of the people who worked the soil and tapped the deep, hidden reservoirs of the earth. Agriculture and the oil patch have long defined the rhythm of the days, dictating a pace that favors endurance over haste and a character forged in the dry heat. While the nearby waters of Calf Creek and the gentle depression of Hamilton Draw offer subtle variations in the terrain, the spirit of the place remains anchored in the labor of the fields and the machinery that hums in the distance. To visit Reyes-Mashburn-Nelms Park is to step into a quiet corner of the plains, where the silence is as much a part of the local identity as the industry that keeps Stanton moving forward through the seasons.

About This Stanton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Stanton, Texas. Coordinates: 32.129289, -101.788464. 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 Stanton includes the ZIP code (79782), telephone area code (806), county seat of Martin County (Stanton), and school district assignment (Stanton 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.
