Explore Douglass, 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 Douglass, 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 Douglass.
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.

Douglass occupies a quiet stretch of East Texas where the land breathes through dense thickets and the persistent, low-slung movement of Legg Creek. It lies 14.0 miles west-northwest of Nacogdoches, TX (from Nacogdoches, TX: bearing 289°T), and is situated 18.1 miles east-southeast of Rusk. This waterway carves a modest path through the soil, serving as a silent witness to the seasonal shifts that color the surrounding woods in deep, muted greens and brittle shades of autumn copper. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness, occasionally broken by the distant, hazy silhouette of the Elkins Mountains, which anchor the horizon far to the west. Only three miles away, the waters of Lake Nacogdoches offer a wide, reflective stillness, providing a stark contrast to the tangled, shadowed banks where the creek winds its way through the undergrowth.
History clings to the red clay of Douglass, marking the slow accumulation of generations who first cleared these forests to cultivate the stubborn, fertile earth. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the land, defined by the steady work of timber and agriculture that has sustained families since the earliest days of settlement. Those seeking a reprieve from the quietude of the fields often travel six miles to West Lake Nacogdoches Park, where the interaction between light and the sprawling canopy offers a momentary clarity. Life in Douglass moves with a deliberate, unadorned pace, reflecting a culture that finds its depth not in grand spectacles, but in the enduring texture of a landscape that has remained largely unchanged by the clamor of the modern world.

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.
