How to Use This Avalon, Texas Map

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

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.

Avalon rests upon the expansive, sun-bleached plains of North Texas, where the horizon stretches thin and flat under a sky that seems to possess more weight than the earth below. It lies 12.9 miles southwest of Ennis, TX (from Ennis, TX: bearing 228°T), and is situated 5.7 miles east-northeast of Italy. The land is defined by a slow, rhythmic transition from dark, heavy clay soil to the subtle depressions carved by Big Onion Creek, which meanders quietly through the brush just two miles from the center. During the height of the summer, the heat ripples across the fields, turning the air into a shimmering veil that softens the edges of the distant horizon. While the expanse feels vast and empty to the casual observer, the terrain holds a quiet, austere beauty in the way the late afternoon light catches the dry grasses, casting long, bruised shadows that deepen as the sun dips behind the plains.

Avalon persists as a testament to the agricultural persistence of the blackland prairie, with the rhythms of the local economy tied inextricably to the cycles of harvest and the slow, deliberate work of the fields. The heritage of the area is anchored in the modest, hardworking character of those who settled this inland expanse, far from any maritime influence, finding permanence in the soil rather than the water. Residents often look toward the nearby Bardwell Lake for a moment of stillness or venture out to the Bardwell Recreation Area to observe the seasonal changes in the landscape. Though life moves with a measured, intentional pace, the proximity of the Waxahachie Trail offers a connection to the broader region, allowing the inhabitants of Avalon to remain grounded in their local geography while existing comfortably within the quiet, open reaches of the state.
