Explore Cedar Lane, 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 Lane, 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 Lane.
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 Lane anchors itself upon the quiet, alluvial plains where the slow, serpentine currents of Caney Creek define the local horizon. It lies 14.4 miles east-southeast of Bay City, TX (from Bay City, TX: bearing 102°T), and is situated 7.3 miles south-southwest of Sweeny. The landscape here is characterized by a persistent, flat stillness, a sprawling expanse of fertile earth that feels ancient in its patience. To the northwest, the subtle depression of Ash Flat pulls the eye toward a horizon that remains stubbornly level, interrupted only by the occasional heavy-limbed tree standing against the weight of the humid afternoon sky. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the land stretches out in a mosaic of agricultural fields that turn a deep, bruised gold under the waning light, while the proximity to the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge ensures that the silence is frequently punctuated by the sudden, percussive flight of waterfowl moving between the low-lying marshes.
History in Cedar Lane remains tied to the slow accumulation of generations working the soil and navigating the rhythms of the land. Economic life persists through the quiet persistence of farming and the modest industries that service the surrounding acreage, maintaining a pace that favors deliberate action over the frantic pulse of the city. While the influence of larger metropolitan centers remains distant, the identity of Cedar Lane is marked by a resolute independence, a sense of place forged in the shadow of the regional timber and crop cycles. Residents often look toward the distant presence of Damon Mound as a fixed point in their navigation, a subtle reminder of the geography that anchors them far from the volatile coast, keeping their focus turned toward the inland prairie and the steady, unhurried flow of the water that shaped this ground long before the first fences were drawn.

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.
