How to Use This Appleby, Texas Map

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

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.

Appleby unfolds across a landscape where the earth settles into quiet, verdant swells, defined primarily by the slow, deliberate passage of the Bayou oa Nana. It lies 8.3 miles north-northeast of Nacogdoches, TX (from Nacogdoches, TX: bearing 21°T), and is situated 27.1 miles north-northeast of Lufkin. The moisture-heavy air here clings to the soil, supporting a dense canopy of hardwoods that seem to drink the sunlight, while the distant, hazy silhouette of the Elkins Mountains provides a jagged contrast to the softer, immediate horizon. On late summer afternoons, the light turns a deep, bruised amber, catching the tall grasses that lean toward the water’s edge, creating a stillness that feels heavy with the weight of the coming evening. Only three miles away, the surface of Curtis Smith Lake remains undisturbed, a mirror for the shifting clouds that drift over the inland plains, far removed from the clamor of the world beyond.

Appleby carries the quiet persistence of a place shaped by the rhythms of the land, where the local economy has long been tethered to the cycles of timber and the modest yield of the surrounding fields. The history of the area is not written in grand monuments but in the weathered fence lines and the slow encroachment of the forest upon older, forgotten homesteads. Residents often look toward Maroney Park for a reprieve from the daily labor, finding a sense of scale in the trees that have stood long before the current roads were paved. Life here moves with a steady, unhurried cadence, marked by the changing seasons rather than the demands of a clock, preserving a character that remains stubbornly rooted in the clay and pine of this particular corner of the world.

About This Appleby Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Appleby, Texas. Coordinates: 31.716288, -94.604931. 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 Appleby includes the ZIP code (75965), telephone area code (903), county seat of Nacogdoches County (Nacogdoches), and school district assignment (Nacogdoches 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.
