Explore Cedar Creek, 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 Cedar Creek, 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 Cedar Creek.
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.

Cedar Creek exists as a quiet convergence of prairie grass and stubborn oak, defined by the persistent, winding path of Donahoe Creek as it cuts through the silty earth. It lies 20.2 miles east of Brenham, TX (from Brenham, TX: bearing 84°T), and is situated 8.2 miles north-northwest of Prairie View. The landscape here favors the subtle, where the ground gives way to the gentle depression of Red Gully just a few miles away, creating a terrain that feels both wide and intimate under the expansive Texas sky. At dusk, the light loses its harshness, turning the dry stalks of the fields into a pale, glowing bronze that seems to hold the warmth of the day long after the sun has dipped below the horizon. The air carries a scent of turned soil and cooling limestone, a dry, grounded fragrance that anchors the senses to the inland plains, far removed from the damp atmosphere of distant horizons.
Agriculture has long dictated the pulse of Cedar Creek, shaping a life defined by the slow accumulation of seasonal harvests and the maintenance of fences that divide the open range. While residents might travel to Hempstead City Park for a quiet afternoon of respite, the economy remains tied to the land and the modest commerce that supports the surrounding agricultural interests. History here is not marked by grand monuments but by the persistence of those who worked the soil, leaving behind a legacy of resilience that persists in the steady, unpretentious pace of daily business. Even with the Soil Conservation Service Site 6 Reservoir sitting eighteen miles out and Hockley Mound rising as a distant point of reference, the character of Cedar Creek remains rooted in the immediate, observable truth of its own fields and the water that feeds them.

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.
