Explore Belmont, 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 Belmont, 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 Belmont.
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.

Belmont occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth rises into gentle swells, defined fundamentally by the steady, dark flow of the Guadalupe River that marks the terrain’s eastern edge. It lies 17.2 miles east of Seguin, TX (from Seguin, TX: bearing 100°T), and is situated 14.0 miles west of Gonzales. The air here holds the dry, sun-baked scent of limestone and cured grasses, a stillness that carries across the open fields toward the modest rise of Watson Hill five miles distant. Sunlight in the late afternoon pulls long, amber shadows across the plains, turning the scrub and mesquite into silhouettes against a vast, pale sky. To the south, the landscape softens into the low-lying terrain of Sandy Hollow, while the nearby M. O. Neasloney Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary where the native brush remains undisturbed by the slow, deliberate pace of the surrounding countryside.
Belmont traces its endurance to the rhythms of the land, once serving as a point of convergence for regional travelers who relied on the water and the fertility of the soil to establish a foothold in the brush. The local economy persists in the quiet tradition of agriculture and land stewardship, a life dictated by the seasons and the cycle of the rain rather than the frantic pulse of industrial centers. While the Palmetto State Park - Lake Trail seven miles away invites those who seek the quietude of the woods, the inhabitants of Belmont find their own connection to the earth in the maintenance of their fences and the patience required for a harvest. Even as modern life brushes against the perimeter, the character of Belmont remains anchored in the stubborn, honest persistence of its people, echoing the slow, deliberate movement of the river that has watched over the locality for generations.

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.
