How to Use This Valentine, Texas Map

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

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.

Valentine sits upon a vast, high-desert expanse where the horizon stretches thin and taut, pulling the eye toward the jagged silhouette of the Davis Mountains in the distance. It lies 125.7 miles east-southeast of San Elizario, TX (from San Elizario, TX: bearing 123°T), and is situated 34.4 miles northwest of Marfa. The earth here is a palette of bleached bone and iron-red, marked by the quiet, arid paths of Dowman Draw five miles to the west and the faint, seasonal meander of Moore Slough three miles away. Sunlight in Valentine holds a particular, sharp clarity, stripping away the haze of the lowlands to reveal every grain of sand and tuft of hardy grama grass. At dusk, the sky bruises into deep shades of violet and ochre, casting long, dramatic shadows that make the surrounding plains seem to breathe in the cooling air.

Valentine maintains a quiet endurance, its identity forged by the rhythms of the railroad and the persistent culture of ranching that defines this corner of the state. The economy leans into the slow, deliberate work of the land, while the nearby Davis Mountains Preserve offers a sanctuary for the rugged flora and fauna that thrive in this dry, elevated climate. History remains visible in the weathered facades of the older buildings, which stand as silent observers to the changing trains and the occasional migration of travelers crossing the high plains. Life in Valentine moves with a steady, unforced pace, governed by the seasons and the simple necessity of thriving in a landscape that demands both respect and resilience from those who remain.

About This Valentine Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Valentine, Texas. Coordinates: 30.587366, -104.496591. 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 Valentine includes the ZIP code (79854), telephone area code (915), county seat of Jeff Davis County (Fort Davis), and school district assignment (Valentine 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.
