Explore Havana, 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 Havana, 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 Havana.
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.

Havana sits upon a flat, sun-bleached expanse where the horizon stretches thin and pale against a sky that seems to hold the heat of the earth in suspension. It lies 8.6 miles west of Palmview, TX (from Palmview, TX: bearing 275°T), and is situated 9.0 miles west of La Homa. The landscape is defined by the heavy, silt-rich soil of the alluvial plain, where the quiet presence of the Rio Grande pulls a ribbon of dark, lush vegetation through the otherwise arid scrubland. Nearby, the still, glassy surface of La Joya Lake reflects the shifting light of the afternoon, acting as a focal point for the migratory birds that pass through the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge. Here, the air is thick with the scent of dry earth and ripening fruit, a stillness that is only broken by the occasional rustle of mesquite leaves or the distant, rhythmic hum of irrigation pumps.
Havana carries the quiet weight of a border-country heritage, where the economy remains tethered to the cycles of agriculture and the movement of goods across a landscape that has seen generations of labor and transition. The rhythm of daily life is dictated by the sun and the seasonal harvest, creating a culture that is deeply bilingual and resilient, shaped by the interplay of families who have worked these fields for decades. While the Bentsen - Rio Grande Valley State Park Trail lies miles to the east, the spirit of the land is best understood in the local fields, where the rows of crops disappear into the shimmering heat haze. Havana endures as a place of modest scale and steady purpose, where the history of the region is not found in grand monuments, but in the enduring patterns of work and the way the light softens over the fields as the day recedes into a deep, indigo dusk.

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.
