Explore Fredericksburg, 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 Fredericksburg, 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 Fredericksburg.
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.

Fredericksburg holds a distinct position upon the limestone-rich expanse of the high plains, where the horizon stretches wide and the light at dusk adopts a peculiar, honeyed clarity that softens the sharp edges of the terrain. It lies 22.5 miles northeast of Kerrville, TX (from Kerrville, TX: bearing 45°T), and is situated 34.2 miles north-northwest of Boerne. Town Creek moves with a quiet, persistent gravity through the landscape, acting as a life-giving vein that has shaped the growth and orientation of the surrounding fields. The air here carries a dry, crisp weight, stripped of any humidity, suggesting the vast, arid reaches that lie beyond the reach of the distant Edwards Plateau. Fredericksburg remains a place where the earth is defined by its deep, earthen colors and the stubborn endurance of native oaks that rise from the rocky soil.
German immigrants established Fredericksburg in the mid-nineteenth century, driven by a desire for autonomy and the promise of open land. These early settlers brought with them a rigid work ethic and a commitment to communal organization, clearing the brush to lay out a grid that prioritized shared space and social cohesion. The architecture of Fredericksburg still echoes this origin, featuring limestone masonry and fachwerk construction that speak to a heritage of functional, sturdy craftsmanship. This history remains visible in the preserved structures that anchor the center, serving as a silent reminder of the resilience required to thrive in such a demanding, inland environment.
Fredericksburg currently sustains itself through a robust blend of viticulture, tourism, and small-scale agriculture that capitalizes on the unique mineral profile of the local substrate. While the economy leans heavily on the influx of visitors who explore the various tasting rooms and local shops, the infrastructure remains grounded in the practical needs of the region, including maintenance of local roads and utility grids that serve the outlying ranches. Education is served by local districts that provide a foundation for the youth, though the primary industry remains the cultivation of the land and the hospitality sector. Fredericksburg functions as a hub of commerce for the surrounding agrarian tracts, ensuring that the movement of goods and people keeps the local market vital and steady.
Cultural life in Fredericksburg finds its focus at Markt Platz, a public space that serves as the primary theater for communal gatherings and seasonal festivals throughout the year. Visitors often seek out the Lady Bird Johnson Park Trail for a quiet passage through the natural landscape, finding a rhythm in the walk that matches the slow, deliberate pace of the region. Lady Bird Johnson, a figure of immense national recognition, shared a profound connection to this land, and her influence is felt in the preservation of the local flora. Life in Fredericksburg does not rely on the frantic energy of professional sports or massive urban institutions, but rather on the recurring traditions of public markets and the quiet observation of the changing seasons across the plains.

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.
