How to Use This Horseshoe Bay, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Horseshoe Bay, 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 Horseshoe Bay.
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.

About Horseshoe Bay, Texas
Horseshoe Bay is a locality in Burnet County, Texas, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,257. The population density is 114.7 people per km². Horseshoe Bay is located at 30.5408°N, 98.3806°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Horseshoe Bay is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 78657.Horseshoe Bay emerges from the rugged limestone terrain where the quiet currents of Tiger Creek press against the earth, marking a boundary between the arid plains and the life-giving waters of Lake Lyndon B Johnson. It lies 24.1 miles west-northwest of Lakeway, TX (from Lakeway, TX: bearing 301°T), and is situated 4.4 miles west-southwest of Marble Falls. The landscape here is defined by a deep, enduring stillness, where the limestone bedrock rises in pale, craggy shelves, and the light at dusk turns the heavy foliage of native oaks into silhouettes of bruised violet and charcoal. To the west, the far-off ridges of the Edwards Plateau shimmer in the heat haze, a distant reminder of the vast, ancient geology that governs the horizon. Visitors often wander toward the Granite Beach Recreation Area, where the water meets the shore in a slow, rhythmic lap, reflecting the wide, cloud-swept sky of the interior.
Development in Horseshoe Bay grew from a vision of deliberate leisure, transforming the scrub-oak brushland into a destination defined by its private clubs and deliberate, manicured tranquility. The local economy pulses with the movement of seasonal residents and those seeking the quietude of the lake, sustained by an infrastructure that prioritizes the preservation of the surrounding natural vistas. Those who favor a longer path often venture toward the Camp Creek Trail, finding a solitude that feels distant from the encroaching pace of the modern world. Even as the sun dips behind the distant rise of the Edwards Plateau, the air maintains a dry, crisp quality, carrying the scent of parched grass and cooling stone that characterizes the daily existence of Horseshoe Bay.

About This Horseshoe Bay Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Horseshoe Bay, Texas. Coordinates: 30.540758, -98.38057. 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 Horseshoe Bay includes the ZIP code (78657), telephone area code (512, 737), county seat of Burnet County (Burnet), and school district assignment (Llano 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.
