How to Use This Forest Heights, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Forest Heights, 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 Forest Heights.
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.

About Forest Heights, Texas
Forest Heights is a locality in Orange County, Texas, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,329. The population density is 182.1 people per km². Forest Heights is located at 30.2383°N, 93.7588°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 77632.Forest Heights emerges from the flat, scrub-brushed plains as a grid of quiet residential streets and purposeful architecture. It lies 10.1 miles north of Orange, TX (from Orange, TX: bearing 352°T), and is situated 6.9 miles east-northeast of Mauriceville. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the occasional rise of High Hill to the northwest, which catches the deep, bruised light of late afternoon. Three miles to the east, the slow, murky current of Indian Bayou dictates the drainage of the local soil, while the nearby Tony Houseman/ Blue Elbow Swamp Wildlife Management Area offers a dense, tangled sanctuary for those who prefer the shade of cypress and tupelo. The air here holds the dry, metallic scent of sun-warmed asphalt and distant dust, a reminder that the land is far removed from the cooling influence of any open water.
Forest Heights reflects the practical, industrious temperament of a place built on the steady rhythm of regional commerce and the labor of those who maintain the infrastructure of the surrounding plains. While the nearby basin of Bull Cove suggests the subtle shifts in elevation that define the local topography, the economy remains anchored in the day-to-day service of its inhabitants rather than the extraction of resources. Life in Forest Heights moves with an unadorned simplicity, marked by the long shadows cast by solitary oaks and the hum of traffic moving toward larger centers of trade. Even when the heat of the day reaches its peak, the residents find a common language in the maintenance of their lawns and the preservation of a quiet, unassuming independence that defines the character of the region.

About This Forest Heights Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Forest Heights, Texas. Coordinates: 30.238262, -93.758778. 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 Forest Heights includes the ZIP code (77632), telephone area code (281), county seat of Orange County (Orange), and school district assignment (Little Cypress-Mauriceville Consolidated 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.
