Explore Allison, 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 Allison, 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 Allison.
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.

Allison occupies a stretch of high, open plains where the horizon pulls the sky tight against the earth, creating a vast, exposed theater for the movement of light. It lies 11.9 miles northwest of Granbury, TX (from Granbury, TX: bearing 305°T), and is situated 8.3 miles west-northwest of Oak Trail Shores. The Killing Branch carves a quiet, persistent line through the landscape, its banks providing a subtle relief to the otherwise level expanse of the surrounding prairie. To the west, the distant silhouette of the Devils Backbone marks the edge of the world, while the nearby trickle of Kickapoo Falls offers a fleeting, rhythmic counterpoint to the stillness of the dry grass. A few miles away, the waters of Aldenhoven Lake catch the afternoon sun, turning the color of hammered copper and anchoring the local geography in a basin of quiet reflection.
Allison maintains a rhythm dictated by the cycles of the land, drawing its vitality from the ranchers and farmers who have long worked these deep, unforgiving soils. The economy remains tethered to the slow pulse of agriculture and the maintenance of the vast, unfenced stretches that define the local character. Beyond the working fields, the proximity of the Ark II wildlife area provides a sanctuary for the native grasses and fauna that once claimed the entire region, preserving a fragment of the wilderness before the fences arrived. Life here moves with a deliberate, sparse grace, where the silence of the evening is broken only by the wind shifting across the plains, leaving the inhabitants to measure their time by the changing length of shadows and the steady, unadorned labor of the seasons.

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.
