Explore Arcola, 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 Arcola, 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 Arcola.
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.

Arcola spreads across a flat, expansive reach of prairie where the horizon remains wide and uninterrupted, save for the occasional silhouette of a fence line or a distant stand of trees. It lies 3.2 miles south-southwest of Fresno, TX (from Fresno, TX: bearing 200°T), and is situated 9.5 miles south-southeast of Missouri City. The West Fork Chocolate Bayou cuts a slow, muddy path through the earth here, its banks lined with dense thickets that hold the damp heat of the afternoon long after the sun has begun to dip. A mile away, the surface of Brushy Lake mirrors the shifting colors of the sky, turning a bruised purple as twilight settles over the tall grass. To the north, the ground rises with a subtle, almost imperceptible shift in elevation, a reminder of the land’s ancient, sedimentary weight that stretches toward the distant, hazy prominence of Nash Dome.
Arcola carries the quiet, persistent pulse of a place that grew from the steady labor of the land, evolving from the agricultural roots of the surrounding plains into a modern crossroads. Local life maintains a pace dictated by the seasonal shifts in light and the demands of the nearby transit corridors, yet the residents find a sense of recreation at the Savannah Clubhouse & Pool, a familiar gathering point that anchors the day-to-day rhythm. History here is felt in the texture of the soil and the way the wind moves across the open fields, far from the frantic energy of larger hubs. While the Almeda Elementary SPARK Park Trail offers a quiet passage for those looking to traverse the local terrain, the true character of Arcola remains tied to the stillness of its inland expanse and the patient endurance of its people.

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.
