How to Use This Detroit, Texas Map

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

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.

Detroit anchors itself firmly upon the red-clay flats of Northeast Texas, where the horizon stretches wide and the sky holds a heavy, pressurized clarity. It lies 16.6 miles east of Paris, TX (from Paris, TX: bearing 90°T), and is situated 11.3 miles east of Reno. Scatter Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth nearby, its dark silt-laden waters feeding the low-lying thickets that define the local topography. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape flattens into an expansive, sun-bleached prairie, occasionally punctuated by the distant, hazy silhouette of Robertson Hill rising against the western sky. During the humid transitions of dusk, the light turns a bruised, singular amber, casting long shadows that sharpen the edges of the barns and the skeletal, dormant cotton stalks standing in the fallow fields.

Detroit carries a quiet, stubborn endurance in its architecture and the slow, deliberate pace of its daily commerce. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the soil and the seasonal cycles of agrarian labor, a legacy that has persisted since the early days of settlement when the railroad first brought the promise of industry to these plains. Residents look toward J R Ray Lake as a primary relief from the heat, while the nearby Lennox Woods Preserve offers a dense, protected sanctuary of old-growth timber, preserving the wilder character of the region. Life in Detroit moves with the gravity of a place that knows its own boundaries, marked by the steady hum of trucks on the highway and the persistent, unyielding work of maintaining a life in the quiet reaches of the inland scrub.

About This Detroit Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Detroit, Texas. Coordinates: 33.661497, -95.266617. 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 Detroit includes the ZIP code (75436), telephone area code (972, 469), county seat of Red River County (Clarksville), and school district assignment (Detroit 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.
