Explore Sulphur Bluff, 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 Sulphur Bluff, 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 Sulphur Bluff.
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.

Sulphur Bluff occupies a quiet expanse of North Texas where the horizon stretches wide across open fields and patches of timber. It lies 17.8 miles northeast of Sulphur Springs, TX (from Sulphur Springs, TX: bearing 41°T), and is situated 14.3 miles northwest of Mount Vernon. The land rises with a subtle, deliberate grace toward Robertson Hill, which stands as a silent sentinel over the surrounding plains. To the west, the slow, rhythmic movement of Mitchell Creek carves a path through the earth, its banks often softened by the moisture of the region. Sunlight here possesses a particular clarity, catching the tall, dry grasses in the late afternoon and turning the entire landscape into a study of amber and deep, muted greens. The proximity of D A Jordan Estate Lake adds a reflective stillness to the air, grounding the atmosphere in a heavy, humid peace that persists long after the sun has dipped below the edge of the world.
Sulphur Bluff maintains a character defined by its long-standing connection to the soil and the quiet industry of agriculture. Historically, the area emerged as a center for early settlers who recognized the fertility of the surrounding blackland, establishing a pace of life that remains tied to the cycles of planting and harvest. The economy is quiet and steady, sustained by the labor of those who manage the local cattle and crops, far removed from the clamor of urban development. Residents often find common ground near the local school, which serves as the anchor for the community's social life. Beyond the immediate fields, the Farm Service Agency Interest of TX provides a protected space for local flora and fauna to thrive, ensuring that the wilder side of the region endures alongside the persistent, hard-working efforts of the people who call Sulphur Bluff their home.

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.
