How to Use This Allison, Texas Map

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 emerges from the expansive plains as a quiet intersection of earth and sky, where the horizon stretches thin and pale under the relentless Texas sun. It lies 17.3 miles west-northwest of Denton, TX (from Denton, TX: bearing 282°T), and is situated 9.5 miles east-northeast of Decatur. The landscape around Allison consists of steady, open terrain that slopes gently toward the banks of Denton Creek, a modest artery winding through the soil just a mile away. Farther out, the horizon is punctuated by the faint, jagged silhouette of The Backbone, appearing as a dark ripple against the western haze. The air here holds a dry, persistent clarity, turning the golden hour into a sharp, amber light that clarifies every blade of grass and weathered fence post before the shadows lengthen across the dirt.

Economic life in Allison remains tethered to the rhythms of the land, defined by the persistence of those who cultivate the surrounding fields and manage the livestock that graze the scrubby pastures. Residents often look toward the Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland, which provides a sprawling expanse of protected prairie just eight miles away, offering a contrast to the cultivated rows of the nearby farms. While life here moves with a deliberate, measured pace, the proximity of Duessen Reservoir, five miles distant, draws those seeking a moment of stillness by the water’s edge. History in Allison is written not in grand monuments, but in the enduring resilience of a community that has quietly maintained its footing amidst the changing seasons of the plains.
