Explore Coahoma, 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 Coahoma, 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 Coahoma.
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.

Coahoma stretches across a high, arid expanse where the horizon pulls the sky tight against the earth, creating a vastness that humbles the eye. It lies 10.6 miles east-northeast of Big Spring, TX (from Big Spring, TX: bearing 72°T), and is situated 26.5 miles west-southwest of Colorado City. The landscape is defined by the persistent, dry winds that scour the plains, brushing against the subtle depression of Coahoma Draw and the quiet banks of Beals Creek. Sunlight here has a bleached, honest quality, exposing the raw texture of the soil and the endurance of the scrub brush that clings to the parched ground. While the distant Edwards Plateau remains a faint, jagged memory on the far edge of the map, the immediate terrain feels immediate and grounded, colored in shades of dusty ochre and pale, sun-scorched grass.
Coahoma maintains a rhythm dictated by the demands of the oil patch and the steady cycles of the land, a place where the economy is built on the extraction of hidden wealth and the resilience of those who labor in the heat. Memories of early settlement linger in the quiet streets, reflecting a history forged in the necessity of finding water and establishing a foothold in a challenging climate. Recreation finds its anchor at Moss Creek Lake, where the water offers a stark, reflective contrast to the surrounding terrain, while the far-off Salt Lake serves as a reminder of the mineral-heavy, ancient character of the region. Life in Coahoma moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, valuing the quiet clarity of a clear evening and the persistent, industrious spirit of a place that remains firmly rooted in its own distinct geography.

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.
