Explore Brashear, 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 Brashear, 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 Brashear.
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.

Brashear holds its place upon the quiet, expansive plains of northeast Texas, where the land stretches out in long, uncomplicated lines that pull the eye toward the horizon. It lies 7.8 miles west of Sulphur Springs, TX (from Sulphur Springs, TX: bearing 260°T), and is situated 13.1 miles southeast of Commerce. Clendening Creek carves a thin, meandering path through the earth nearby, its banks often shaded by the dense, persistent greenery of local thickets that thrive in the rich, heavy soil. To the north, the distant silhouette of Hooker Ridge offers a faint, jagged interruption to the otherwise level sky, while the cooling presence of James R Beck Lake provides a calm, reflective mirror for the shifting clouds. The air here carries the scent of dry grass and turned dirt, a stillness that deepens as the sun begins to lean toward the western edge of the fields, painting the flat landscape in shades of amber and bruised violet.
Brashear grew from the sturdy ambition of those who recognized the utility of the rail lines that once anchored the economy of this rural expanse, fostering a life tied to the rhythms of agriculture and local trade. Though the pace of daily affairs has slowed since the height of the steam era, the legacy of that industrious spirit remains in the way the local economy supports the surrounding farms and pastures. Residents often look toward the nearby White Oak Creek Reservoir for a sense of open space, a place where the land meets the water in a quiet, undisturbed union. Life in Brashear is defined by these steady, predictable cycles, where the work of the day is measured by the length of shadows across the porch and the persistent, honest labor required to sustain a connection to the soil.

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.
