Explore Stratford, 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 Stratford, 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 Stratford.
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.

Stratford occupies a vast, high expanse of the High Plains where the horizon stretches into an unrelenting line of clarity against the pale, vaulted sky. It lies 33.0 miles north of Dumas, TX (from Dumas, TX: bearing 350°T), and is situated 20.0 miles north of Cactus. The land here is defined by an immense, open austerity, where the earth holds the heat of the day long after the sun has dipped below the western edge of the prairie. A mile away, Coldwater Creek carves a shallow, rhythmic path through the soil, while the quiet waters of Stratford Feeders Reservoir lie three miles distant, reflecting the passing clouds in a muted, earthen palette. Within the center of the grid, City Park offers a small, green reprieve where the wind moves through the grass with a dry, persistent hum, reminding any traveler of the sheer scale of the landscape that encompasses Stratford.
Agriculture provides the primary pulse of the economy, as the surrounding fields of grain and rows of crops dictate the seasonal shifts in labor and commerce. The history of Stratford remains tethered to the transformation of these plains into productive farmland, a legacy maintained by the steady, mechanical industry of modern irrigation and the resilience of those who cultivate the ground. Life in Stratford moves with the deliberate pace of a place built on the foundations of harvest and trade, where the local character is shaped by a quiet, communal endurance. At dusk, the light turns a sharp, clear gold, illuminating the silos and the grid of streets with a sudden, luminous intensity that reveals the stark beauty of a life lived at the intersection of sky and soil.

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.
