How to Use This Ganado, Texas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ganado, 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 Ganado.

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.

Ganado occupies a deliberate expanse of flat, fertile earth where the horizon stretches thin and pale under the vast, unencumbered sky of the coastal plains. It lies 18.3 miles southwest of El Campo, TX (from El Campo, TX: bearing 234°T), and is situated 9.1 miles east-northeast of Edna. Devers Creek carves a quiet, meandering path through the terrain, its waters shaded by the dense riparian growth that marks its slow progress toward the larger drainage basins of the interior. To the east, the stillness of Lake Texana offers a mirror to the shifting clouds, while the terrestrial landscape remains defined by the deep, dark soil that supports a patchwork of agricultural fields and scrubby brush. The air here holds the heavy, humid weight of the inland plains, catching the golden, slanted light of late afternoon in a way that turns the gray-green grasses into a shimmering, metallic haze.

Ganado carries the steady, methodical cadence of a place built upon the labor of the soil and the iron pulse of the regional rail lines. The local economy remains anchored to the rhythms of ranching and the cultivation of expansive crops, a heritage that persists despite the shifting tides of modern industry. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the Palmetto Bend serves as a sanctuary where the native flora persists in a fragile, protected equilibrium, far removed from the mechanical hum of the highway. Travelers seeking a slower pace might find their way to the Lake Texana State Park Trail, a path that cuts through the wilder edges of the woods, offering a solitary perspective on the resilient, sun-drenched character of this inland landscape.

About This Ganado Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Ganado, Texas. Coordinates: 29.040536, -96.513583. 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 Ganado includes the ZIP code (77962), telephone area code (409), county seat of Jackson County (Edna), and school district assignment (Ganado 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.
