How to Use This Goree, Texas Map

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

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.

Goree occupies a quiet expanse of the North Texas plains where the horizon stretches flat and wide under a sky that seems to press down with the weight of its own clarity. It lies 66.8 miles west-southwest of Wichita Falls, TX (from Wichita Falls, TX: bearing 243°T), and is situated 17.6 miles west-southwest of Seymour. Here, the landscape is defined by a persistent, dry heat that bleaches the grasses to a pale straw color and turns the earth into a mosaic of cracked clay and hard-packed soil. A mile away, the channel of Lake Creek cuts a thin, winding scar through the brush, its banks often silent, holding only the memory of recent rains. When the sun begins to retreat, the light catches the dust motes suspended in the air, casting a long, amber glow that softens the harsh lines of the fence rows and makes the distant silhouette of Twin Mountain appear as a mere ripple against the deepening indigo of the dusk.

Goree persists as a place where the rhythm of existence is dictated by the turning of the seasons and the demands of the soil. The local economy remains tethered to the vast, open tracts of farmland that surround the settlement, where rows of cotton and grain sorghum define the working life of the residents. History here is found in the weathered wood of old outbuildings and the way the wind hums through the power lines, a persistent sound that has outlasted the original storefronts of the early agricultural settlers. While the water of Millers Creek Reservoir lies eight miles to the east, the life of the place stays firmly rooted in the dry, interior plains, where the people carry on with a stoic, quiet industry. The stillness of the afternoon is broken only by the occasional truck rattling down a gravel road, a sound that quickly dissolves into the vast, empty space that defines the character of Goree.
