Explore Addicks, 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 Addicks, 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 Addicks.
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.

It lies 5.7 miles north-northwest of Alief, TX (from Alief, TX: bearing 331°T), and is situated 6.3 miles north-northeast of Mission Bend. The terrain of Addicks is defined by the flat, persistent expanse of the prairie, where the light at dusk turns the grasses into a pale, shimmering gold. Only one mile away, the quiet flow of Buffalo Bayou cuts a deliberate path through the earth, grounding the landscape in a steady, slow-moving rhythm. To the west, the George Bush Park Greenway offers an unbroken sanctuary of native vegetation that stretches out as far as the eye can see. The ground here feels firm and ancient, a testament to the quiet endurance of the inland plains.
Addicks grew from the early necessity of the railway, serving as a vital point for those who labored to tame the surrounding soil. The economy transitioned from the rhythms of seasonal agriculture to the modern demands of suburban commerce, reflecting the restless ambition of the region. Industry here is marked by the hum of transit and the steady maintenance of infrastructure that keeps the surrounding sprawl connected. While the patterns of work have shifted over the decades, the land still commands a certain respect for its utility and scale. The people of Addicks understand the labor required to sustain a life on this flat, demanding terrain, keeping their efforts focused and practical.

While the area is not defined by grand monuments, the sheer openness of the surroundings provides a sense of clarity that is rare in more crowded places. The local identity is not loud or performative, but rather an accumulation of small, daily habits that define a life lived away from the noise of the center. Those who reside here value the simple, unadorned reality of a life lived close to the earth and the sky.

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.
