How to Use This Caney, Texas Map

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

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.

About Caney, Texas

Caney is a locality in Matagorda County, Texas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 187. Caney is located at 28.9636°N, 95.8547°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 77414.

Caney occupies a stretch of fertile, low-lying prairie where the heavy, humid air carries the scent of damp earth and tall, sun-bleached grasses. It lies 7.1 miles east of Bay City, TX (from Bay City, TX: bearing 101°T), and is situated 17.8 miles southwest of West Columbia. The Live Oak Bayou carves a slow, meandering path through the landscape, its banks shaded by the twisted, dark limbs of ancient trees that seem to hold the secrets of the shifting soil. Five miles away, the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge provides a vast, quiet sanctuary for migratory birds, their distant calls often drifting over the fields as the light fails at dusk. While Damon Mound rises as a solitary, hazy silhouette on the distant horizon, the immediate terrain remains flat and open, defined by the steady, quiet expansion of the horizon line under a sky that feels immense and unburdened.

Caney emerged from the labor of early settlers who recognized the potential in the rich, dark silt of the basin, establishing a rhythm of life long dictated by the cycles of the harvest. Today, the economy remains anchored to the land, with small-scale agriculture and regional trade forming the quiet backbone of the local temperament. Life here moves with a deliberate, measured pace, far removed from the frantic pulse of larger hubs, yet the influence of nearby Lake Austin and the broader reach of the regional plains keeps the spirit of the place tethered to the natural world. Residents carry on with a stoic, practical grace, finding a particular beauty in the way the morning mist clings to the fields before the heat of the day settles over the quiet roads of Caney.

About This Caney Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Caney, Texas. Coordinates: 28.963589, -95.854677. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Caney includes the ZIP code (77414), telephone area code (281), county seat of Matagorda County (Bay City), and school district assignment.

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.
