How to Use This Dayton Lakes, Texas Map

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

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.

Dayton Lakes emerges from the flat, verdant expanse of the landscape, defined by the quiet presence of Pecan Lake at its center. It lies 23.3 miles east of New Caney, TX (from New Caney, TX: bearing 92°T), and is situated 7.8 miles north-northeast of Dayton. The ground here holds the moisture of the low-lying plains, where the humidity clings to the heavy, dark soil and the sunlight filters through the canopy in amber, syrupy layers during the late afternoon. To the west, the subtle rise of Hawkins Hill interrupts the horizon, a distant reminder of the varied terrain that exists beyond the immediate, humid stillness of the local woods. The proximity to the Trinity River, flowing only a mile away, dictates the character of the soil and the slow, deliberate pace of the water, which shapes the earth as much as the seasons do.

Dayton Lakes maintains an identity tethered to the natural rhythms of the Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge, a corridor of protected growth that buffers the human footprint from the wilder, untamed thickets nearby. The local economy persists in a quiet dialogue with the land, drawing from the resources of the surrounding fields and the legacy of the interior plains. Far removed from the frenetic energy of larger centers, the inhabitants move with a familiarity born of long-standing connections to the geography, from the drainage patterns of Prairie Marsh Gully to the seasonal shifts in the brush. Life here is measured by the slow evaporation of dew from the fields and the way the evening air settles into the hollows, preserving a stillness that remains largely untouched by the passage of time.

About This Dayton Lakes Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dayton Lakes, Texas. Coordinates: 30.144658, -94.822146. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Dayton Lakes includes the ZIP code (77535), telephone area code (281), county seat of Liberty County (Liberty), and school district assignment (Dayton Independent School District).

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.
