How to Use This Sunray, Texas Map

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

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.

Sunray occupies a vast expanse of the high plains where the horizon stretches flat and unrelenting toward a sky that seems to possess more depth than the earth itself. It lies 13.3 miles northeast of Dumas, TX (from Dumas, TX: bearing 38°T), and is situated 10.2 miles east-southeast of Cactus. The landscape around Sunray is defined by the subtle, persistent push of wind against dry grasses, a prairie terrain that offers little resistance to the shifting light of the afternoon. Three miles to the east, North Palo Duro Creek carves a shallow, rhythmic path through the silt, its bed often reflecting the pale, dusty amber of the sun. Six miles away, the quiet surface of Griffin Estate Lake Number 1 holds the stillness of the region, mirroring the immense, cloud-streaked vault above with a clarity that renders the surrounding plains even more expansive.

Sunray emerged from the intersection of agricultural necessity and the industrial pulse of the oil patch, a place where the economy remains tethered to the iron pumps that bow rhythmically in the distance. The architecture of the streets reflects a pragmatic history, built for those who work the soil and the subterranean mineral deposits with a quiet, steady resolve. Residents often find their way to Cactus Park, a local point of respite ten miles out, where the land provides a brief change in texture from the endless grids of farmland. Life in Sunray moves with the deliberate pace of a season, marked by the smell of parched earth and the metallic tang of extraction, creating a distinct identity forged from the resilience required to thrive in such an exposed, wide-open environment.

About This Sunray Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Sunray, Texas. Coordinates: 36.016703, -101.824616. 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 Sunray includes the ZIP code (79086), telephone area code (806), county seat of Moore County (Dumas), and school district assignment (Sunray Collegiate 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.
