Explore Colmesneil, 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 Colmesneil, 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 Colmesneil.
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.

Colmesneil emerges from the dense, pine-shadowed embrace of the East Texas landscape, where the earth turns to a soft, sandy loam and the air holds the damp, resinous scent of persistent growth. It lies 34.8 miles south-southeast of Lufkin, TX (from Lufkin, TX: bearing 149°T), and is situated 9.2 miles north of Woodville. Mill Branch carves a quiet, serpentine path through the immediate vicinity, its waters reflecting the shifting canopy of hardwoods and conifers that define the local horizon. To the west, the subtle rise of Sand Hill breaks the flatness of the terrain, offering a modest vantage point over a region defined by its isolation from the sea and its deep, inland solitude. The light here filters through the branches in thin, golden needles, illuminating the dust that hangs suspended in the humid afternoons, while the proximity to the expansive Angelina National Forest ensures that the wilder, untamed spirit of the forest remains a constant, encroaching presence.
Colmesneil carries the weight of a history rooted in the timber industry and the slow, deliberate work of the sawmill, occupations that once dictated the pulse of every working day. While the economy has shifted away from the frantic pace of the logging boom, the legacy of those formative years lingers in the weathered wood of older structures and the quiet, measured pace of the people who remain. Those seeking the stillness of the woods often find their way toward the Dogwood Trail, where the changing seasons manifest in a vibrant display of white blossoms and autumn fire. Life here remains tethered to the land, an existence defined by the rhythm of the seasons and the distant, cooling promise of Blue Hole, which waits eleven miles away as a testament to the hidden, quiet water features tucked within the folds of the deep woods.

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.
