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 occupies a flat expanse of North Texas prairie where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered under a relentless, expansive sky. It lies 1.3 miles east-southeast of Little Elm, TX (from Little Elm, TX: bearing 122°T), and is situated 5.4 miles west of Frisco. The land here remains defined by the presence of Lake Lewisville, which holds the light of the sun in long, shimmering sheets against the darkening earth as evening approaches. Cottonwood Branch cuts a quiet, unassuming path through the local topography, its banks marking the subtle shifts in soil and vegetation that characterize this inland terrain. Beyond the immediate reach of the water, the ground is stilled by the weight of the heat, and in the distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of Bald Knob sits as a reminder of the rising elevation far to the west.
History in Hackberry is written in the transition from open range to the modern grid, reflecting a quiet shift toward suburban growth and the steady, rhythmic persistence of regional commerce. The residents find their recreation and respite at the Lewisville Recreation Area, where the interface between managed land and wild prairie offers a reprieve from the pace of nearby metropolitan centers. While the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve Trail lies a short distance away for those seeking a more rigorous path, the local character remains anchored in the simple, dusty stillness of the plains. Life here moves with the sun, shaped by the dry, warm air that carries the scent of baked grass and the persistent, low hum of a landscape that has traded its wilder, earlier origins for the steady, quiet endurance of a place finding its own way forward.

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.
