How to Use This Wolfforth, Texas Map

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

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.

Wolfforth occupies a vast expanse of the Southern High Plains where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered under a sky of deepening indigo. It lies 10.2 miles west-southwest of Lubbock, TX (from Lubbock, TX: bearing 241°T), and is situated 16.3 miles northeast of Meadows. This flat, expansive terrain defines the local experience, offering a sense of openness that allows the golden light of late afternoon to linger long upon the fields. While the landscape is largely defined by its level geography, the distant presence of Indian Ridge serves as a subtle reminder of the varied topography existing far beyond these plains. Residents often find quiet beauty in the way the atmosphere clarifies during the cooler months, revealing a crispness that sharpens every distant feature. Within the immediate vicinity, Bryan Patterson Park provides a dedicated space for outdoor engagement, grounding the community in the natural character of the region.

Wolfforth traces its origins to the expansion of the regional rail lines that once transformed the agricultural potential of this dry, fertile soil. The local economy remains deeply connected to the productivity of the land, with farming and commerce serving as the pillars of its ongoing development. Nearby, the Yellow House Draw and the North Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River shape the regional drainage, though they remain distant features that highlight the arid nature of the surrounding acreage. While Canyon Lake Number 2 sits eleven miles away, the daily rhythm here is dictated more by the cycles of the harvest than by the presence of water. Industry has gradually diversified, yet Wolfforth maintains a steady pace of growth that mirrors the industrious spirit of the high plains.

Cultural life in Wolfforth centers on the shared experiences of its residents and the pride taken in local achievements, particularly those fostered within the highly regarded Frenship Independent School District. The community gathers for seasonal events and school-led activities that define the social calendar and create a sense of cohesion across the neighborhood. While many residents look toward nearby Lubbock for broader cultural outlets, Wolfforth retains a distinct identity marked by its focus on family and education. The town has been influenced by the presence of figures like the musician Buddy Holly, who was born in the region and whose legacy continues to resonate through the cultural consciousness of the entire area. Through these connections, Wolfforth sustains a character that is both modest in its presentation and substantial in its commitment to the future.

About This Wolfforth Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wolfforth, Texas. Coordinates: 33.516917, -102.004505. 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 Wolfforth includes the ZIP code (79382), telephone area code (806), county seat of Lubbock County (Lubbock), and school district assignment (Frenship 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.
