How to Use This Hickory Creek, Texas Map

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

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.

Hickory Creek occupies a quiet expanse of land where the earth shifts from open prairie into the dense, shadowed reach of the piney woods. It lies 32.1 miles southeast of Palestine, TX (from Palestine, TX: bearing 145°T), and is situated 9.0 miles east-northeast of Crockett. The landscape is defined by the steady, persistent presence of Hickory Creek itself, which carves a modest path through the soil, offering a cool, perennial dampness to the surrounding vegetation. Beyond the town limits, the terrain rises in subtle, uneven swells, marked by the presence of Davy Crockett National Forest just three miles away, where the canopy thickens into a tangle of loblolly and shortleaf pine. The air here holds a particular weight at dusk, a cooling breath that seems to settle in the hollows and muffle the distant hum of the modern world, grounding the environment in a stillness that feels as old as the clay beneath the grass.

Economic life in Hickory Creek reflects the pragmatic, industrious spirit of a region that has long balanced the necessity of land management with the slow encroachment of suburban expansion. While the residents live within reach of the Ratcliff Lake Trail for recreation and the quiet expanse of Butler Lake, the local character remains tethered to the rhythms of the inland plains and the timber-rich history of the nearby Davy Crockett National Forest. The proximity to Gary Hill provides a fixed point on the horizon, a reminder of the modest, enduring geography that has shaped the lives of those who settled here. Hickory Creek maintains a deliberate pace, where the labor of the day is measured not by the clock, but by the gradual change of light across the fields and the seasonal cycles of the woodland edges.

About This Hickory Creek Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hickory Creek, Texas. Coordinates: 33.11118, -97.030594. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Hickory Creek includes the ZIP code (75835, 75496, 75065), telephone area code (972, 469, 214), county seat of Houston County (Crockett), and school district assignment (Lake Dallas Independent School District).

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.
