Explore Fulton, 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 Fulton, 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 Fulton.
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.

Fulton unfolds along a low, salt-sprayed horizon where the land yields softly to the encroaching tides. It lies 2.9 miles north-northeast of Rockport, TX (from Rockport, TX: bearing 16°T), and is situated 16.4 miles northeast of Ingleside. Fulton Beach Park serves as the primary gateway to the shoreline, offering a vantage point where the light at dusk turns the water into a sheet of hammered pewter. Beyond the immediate reach of the docks, the terrain remains flat and open, defined by the expansive, shallow basin of Estes Flats to the south and the distant, subtle rise of The Sand Mounds on the horizon. The air here carries a heavy, briny weight, and the horizon is often punctuated by the silhouettes of wading birds standing motionless against the gray expanse of the sky.
Maritime traditions anchor the identity of Fulton, rooted in a history of oystering and commercial fishing that still dictates the slow, deliberate pace of the harbor. Wealthier residential pockets like Key Allegro occupy the nearby islands, creating a contrast with the weathered docks where local crews still mend nets under the heat of the midday sun. While the inland reaches toward the quiet waters of Vinson Slough or the distant flow of Copano Creek, the local economy remains tethered to the harvest of the sea and the steady influx of those seeking refuge near the calm, protected reaches of Little Bay. The character of the place is found in this persistent connection to the water, where the rhythmic slapping of waves against wooden pilings provides the only constant soundtrack to a day.

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.
