Explore George West, 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 George West, 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 George West.
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.

George West emerges from the scrub-brushed plains as a sentinel of the brush country, where the land stretches out in long, sun-bleached horizons defined by the persistence of mesquite and prickly pear. It lies 22.9 miles west-southwest of Beeville, TX (from Beeville, TX: bearing 258°T), and is situated 24.1 miles northwest of Mathis. McKimzey Creek carves a shallow, winding path through the local terrain, its presence marked by a thicker veil of willow and hackberry that breaks the monotony of the open prairie. To the west, the silhouette of Balania Hill disrupts the flat skyline, while the slight depression of Waller Gully offers a subtle variation in the earth’s crust. The air here holds a dry, baking heat during the long afternoons, turning the dust into a fine, pale powder that settles on the leaves of the hardy flora, while the evening light often gilds the landscape in a sharp, amber clarity that makes every fence post stand in high relief.
George West carries the weight of a history rooted in the cattle drives and the rugged expansion of the frontier, a heritage that persists in the quiet, utilitarian pace of its central district. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the land, drawing strength from the energy sector and the deep-seated traditions of ranching that have long sustained the population. Residents find a singular respite at Park, a local space that serves as a communal anchor amidst the vast, working acreage of the surrounding region. While Lake Corpus Christi provides a nearby expanse of water that draws travelers seeking relief from the inland intensity, the enduring character of George West remains defined by the persistent, unyielding spirit of those who work the soil and navigate the complexities of this singular, arid stretch of the state.

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.
