How to Use This Carthage, Texas Map

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

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.

Carthage remains defined by the persistent, verdant reach of the East Texas landscape, where the earth holds a deep, iron-rich hue beneath the pine canopy. It lies 26.8 miles south of Marshall, TX (from Marshall, TX: bearing 176°T), and is situated 33.4 miles southeast of Longview. The terrain unfolds in subtle, undulating waves that suggest a quiet permanence, broken only by the thin, winding path of Hooker Branch just a mile from the center. Travelers might observe how the light at dusk softens the sharp edges of the woods, casting long, violet shadows across the fields that extend toward the base of Sixmile Hill. Further afield, the stillness of Flag Pond offers a mirror to the sky, providing a calm respite that sits four miles from the bustle of the streets. Davis Park serves as a central green space, grounding the local geography in a familiar, accessible stretch of land that invites the community to gather under the shade of native trees.

Settlement in Carthage grew from the steady labor of those who recognized the potential in the soil and the surrounding timber resources. Early industry relied heavily on the bounty of the woods, eventually shifting as the discovery of natural gas transformed the economic landscape of the region. This evolution brought a steady pulse of commerce, anchoring the daily life of Carthage to the rhythms of the energy sector and agricultural trade. The local economy now operates with a grounded efficiency, balancing the heritage of rural production with the modern demands of a changing industrial climate. Small businesses and professional services operate with a sturdy independence, reflecting a history of self-reliance that continues to define the local spirit.

Carthage maintains a distinct cultural identity rooted in the traditions of the Piney Woods, where music and storytelling often take center stage. The Texas Country Music Hall of Fame stands as a significant landmark, celebrating the influence of local and regional artists who shaped the sound of a generation. Legendary musicians like Tex Ritter, whose contributions to American folk and country music remain widely recognized, serve as a touchstone for the cultural pride found throughout the streets. Periodic gatherings and local festivals bring the community together, creating a persistent sense of continuity that defines the character of the people. Life here moves with a thoughtful, deliberate pace, where the legacy of the past informs the modest ambitions of the present.
