How to Use This Goldthwaite, Texas Map

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

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 Goldthwaite, Texas

Goldthwaite is a locality in Mills County, Texas, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,738. The population density is 332.4 people per km².

Goldthwaite occupies a quiet expanse of the Texas landscape where the North Fork Bull Creek carves a persistent, narrow path through the limestone-streaked earth. It lies 30.6 miles southeast of Brownwood, TX (from Brownwood, TX: bearing 126°T), and is situated 19.6 miles north-northeast of San Saba. The terrain here is defined by broad, sun-bleached plains and the occasional sharp descent into the silence of Cub Hollow, a place where the light at dusk turns the dry grasses into a bruised, golden copper. Four miles to the east, the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir holds a still, reflective depth that mirrors the vast, cloud-streaked sky. While the distant, hazy silhouette of the Edwards Plateau lingers on the horizon like a memory, the immediate surroundings of Goldthwaite remain grounded in the rugged, unyielding character of the central plains.

Goldthwaite emerged from the dust of the nineteenth century as a waypoint for those carving a living from the ranching and agricultural potential of the region. The local economy persists in this quiet rhythm, sustained by the steady labor of cattle grazing and the cultivation of hardy crops that thrive in the arid soil. Residents often traverse the nineteen miles to spend time under the shade trees at Risien Park, a space that serves as a quiet anchor for the local spirit. Life in Goldthwaite moves with the deliberate pace of a long-established settlement, where the architecture of the storefronts and the call of the wind through the brush speak more to the endurance of its people than to the fleeting trends of the outside world.

About This Goldthwaite Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Goldthwaite, Texas. Coordinates: 31.449886, -98.570876. 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 Goldthwaite includes the ZIP code (76844), telephone area code (325), county seat of Mills County (Goldthwaite), and school district assignment (Goldthwaite 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.
