Explore Hackberry, 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 Hackberry, 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 Hackberry.
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.

Hackberry rises from the sun-bleached plains where the horizon stretches into a vast, unbroken line of pale gold and muted sage. It lies 51.4 miles north-northwest of Uvalde, TX (from Uvalde, TX: bearing 345°T), and is situated 52.9 miles west of Kerrville. Hackberry Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth, its banks lined with the gnarled, dark-barked trees that give the water its name. To the west, the distant silhouettes of the Edwards Plateau shimmer in the heat haze, a reminder of the rising limestone spine that defines the broader regional geology. Just a mile away, the quiet depression of Hackberry Hollow catches the evening shadows, holding the cool air long after the sun has retreated from the open, windswept fields.
The rhythm of life in Hackberry is measured by the slow, deliberate work of the land and the quiet endurance of those who tend it. Remnants of early settlement patterns remain visible in the layout of the dusty lanes, reflecting an economy long rooted in the resilience of dry-land agriculture and the quiet persistence of ranching. Residents look toward the natural silence of Devil's Sink State Natural Area, which serves as a stark, rugged anchor for the local landscape only nine miles away. In the late afternoon, when the light turns the color of honey, the air carries a dry, mineral scent that seems to rise directly from the limestone-rich soil, grounding the daily routine in a geography that demands patience and respect.

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.
