How to Use This Tarzan, Texas Map

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

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.

Tarzan occupies a stark, sun-bleached expanse of the Permian Basin, where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered under a sky that seems to hold more weight than the earth below. It lies 22.1 miles north-northeast of Midland, TX (from Midland, TX: bearing 16°T), and is situated 19.7 miles north-northwest of Greenwood. The land around Tarzan is defined by the subtle, persistent rise of Range Hill five miles to the north, a modest elevation that breaks the monotony of the surrounding plains. During the dry months, the soil hardens into a pale, cracked mosaic, while the nearby McKenzie Draw provides a shallow, weathered scar across the topography twelve miles away. The light here acts with a peculiar intensity, stripping away shadow until the fences and power lines appear as fine, dark graphite sketches against an endless, dusty gold backdrop.

Tarzan persists as a quiet node in the vast geography of the regional oil patch, a legacy that dictates the rhythm of the local economy and the movement of heavy machinery along the roads. The history of the area is tied to the stubborn endurance of those who first broke this dry soil, long before the extraction of underground wealth became the primary pulse of the region. While the nearest water, such as Salt Lake, lies fourteen miles distant and Calf Creek winds its path nine miles away, the character of the inhabitants is shaped by a profound understanding of scarcity and the quiet resilience required to thrive in a land that demands much. Life in Tarzan follows the steady, grinding pace of the pumps, yet on quiet evenings, the air carries a stillness that feels ancient, undisturbed by the distant, bustling reach of Hogan Park eighteen miles out, leaving the inhabitants to their own solitary, sun-drenched horizon.
