Explore Hemphill, 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 Hemphill, 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 Hemphill.
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.

Hemphill emerges from the dense, pine-shadowed landscape where the earth holds the damp, iron-rich scent of the East Texas woods. It lies 51.0 miles east-southeast of Nacogdoches, TX (from Nacogdoches, TX: bearing 111°T), and is situated 30.4 miles north-northeast of Jasper. The Dry Branch carves a quiet, intermittent path through the local topography, its presence marked by shifting sediment and the sudden, rhythmic chorus of insects that thrive in the humid stillness. To the west, the horizon is held by the McLemore Hills, their silhouettes softened by the hazy, golden light that descends each evening. Only a few miles away, the vast, glassy expanse of Toledo Bend Reservoir reflects the sky, grounding the terrain in a stillness that feels both ancient and persistent. The proximity of Sabine National Forest, which begins just a mile from the center of town, ensures that the boundary between the wild growth of the woods and the settled grid of the streets remains thin and porous.
Hemphill carries the weight of a frontier history, having served as a vital center for the timber trade that once defined the economic pulse of this region. The legacy of the sawmills has faded into a quiet, deliberate pace of life, where the industry of the past has given way to the stewardship of the land and the modest commerce of a rural seat. Residents move with an awareness of the seasons, their daily routines dictated by the cooling temperatures under the canopy and the seasonal rhythms of the forest. The school district and the local courthouse stand as sturdy anchors, preserving a sense of continuity that defies the rapid shifts of the modern world. In Hemphill, the passage of time is measured not by the clock, but by the way the shadow of the pines lengthens across the pavement as the day exhales its final, heavy heat.

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.
