Explore Wingate, 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 Wingate, 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 Wingate.
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.

Wingate sits upon a scrub-dusted expanse where the horizon stretches thin and pale beneath the relentless clarity of the Texas sky. It lies 34.2 miles south-southeast of Sweetwater, TX (from Sweetwater, TX: bearing 150°T), and is situated 10.6 miles northwest of Winters. The landscape is defined by the steady, unassuming presence of Valley Creek, which carves a shallow path through the earth, offering a ribbon of life to the otherwise arid plains. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Edwards Plateau lingers as a hazy violet smudge against the fading light, while the terrain itself ripples into the subtle, dry creases of Bowen Draw. Only three miles away, the quiet surface of Soil Conservation Service Site 18 Reservoir mirrors the shifting clouds, providing a stillness that contrasts with the persistent, dry whistle of the wind as it moves across the sparse, sun-bleached grasses.
Wingate carries the weight of a history rooted in the hard, honest labor of the ranching and agricultural trades that have long sustained these plains. The economy remains tethered to the soil, reflecting a cycle of growth and harvest that dictates the measured pace of life here, far removed from the clamor of industrial centers. Residents often look toward City Park for a moment of respite, finding a familiar solace in the land that has supported generations of families. While the town remains quiet, the endurance of its people is evident in the maintained fences and the steady rhythm of work that persists long after the sun has dipped below the prairie, leaving the evening air filled with the scent of sage and the cooling, metallic tang of the earth.

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.
