How to Use This Bastrop, Texas Map

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

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.

Bastrop emerges from the earth as a place where the Gills Branch carves a quiet, persistent path through the landscape. It lies 16.8 miles south-southeast of Elgin, TX (from Elgin, TX: bearing 169°T), and is situated 5.7 miles south-southwest of Camp Swift. The surrounding terrain unfolds in an intricate pattern of woodland and open space, grounding the visitor in a geography defined by the proximity of the Hills Prairie. Three miles away, the waters of Lake Bastrop reflect a sky that feels vast and unencumbered by the reach of the distant horizon. Travelers often find themselves drawn to the Lost Pines Trail, where the earth holds the scent of resin and dry soil under a pale, shifting light. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the elevation rises toward the silhouette of Caldwell Knob, serving as a silent sentinel over the plains.

Bastrop maintains a heritage that honors the endurance of its early settlers and the steady rhythm of those who built their lives upon this land. The local economy draws strength from a blend of historical commerce and modern enterprise, supporting a community that values the labor of its hands. Industries here reflect a commitment to the regional character, moving forward without severing the ties to the agricultural and mercantile roots that once defined the area. Kerr Park stands as a testament to the preservation of public space, offering a quiet respite that anchors the daily lives of residents. The persistence of these industries ensures that Bastrop remains a functional, living entity rather than a mere relic of the past.

Bastrop fosters a cultural character that balances a deep respect for tradition with a quiet, observant grace. The town square remains a central point of activity, marked by buildings that have weathered decades with a stoic, brick-faced dignity. Local events bring the residents together, creating a sense of shared purpose that resonates through the streets during the changing of the seasons. While many individuals have contributed to the legacy of the region, the area is perhaps most widely recognized for being the birthplace of the influential artist and musician Blind Willie Johnson. Visitors who walk the streets today often remark on the way the light catches the old storefronts, suggesting a depth of experience that is rarely captured in hurried travel.

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.
