Explore Flat, 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 Flat, 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 Flat.
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.

Flat occupies a landscape of quiet endurance, where the earth hums with the steady rhythm of limestone and long-standing prairie grass. It lies 11.0 miles southeast of Gatesville, TX (from Gatesville, TX: bearing 142°T), and is situated 14.4 miles north-northeast of Killeen. King Mountain rises a single mile away, casting a shadow that stretches across the plains as the sun dips low, painting the horizon in shades of dusty ochre and bruised violet. Preachers Creek carves a thin, vital line through the terrain, its waters holding the stillness of a land that measures time by the slow growth of oak trees and the seasonal shifting of the wind. Near the periphery, Egypt Hollow collects the rain, shaping the topography into a subtle basin that gathers the heat of the afternoon and releases it into the cool, darkening air of evening.
Flat retains the echoes of generations who found value in the stubborn, rocky soil and the expansive sky. Agriculture remains the quiet heartbeat of the local economy, a legacy of hard-wrought labor that persists even as the world beyond the horizon accelerates. Those seeking the solace of wider spaces often venture toward Belton Lake for the clarity of its expanse, or follow the Mother Neff State Park Trail to witness the resilience of the native flora. The proximity of the Belton Recreation Area offers a reprieve from the daily grind, providing a place where the air feels scrubbed clean by the distance from urban noise. Life here moves with a deliberate grace, grounded in a geography that demands little and offers a profound, unspoken peace to those who choose to observe it.

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.
