How to Use This Kemp, Texas Map

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

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.

Kemp occupies a stretch of fertile North Texas earth where the horizon pulls wide and flat under an expansive, unyielding sky. It lies 20.4 miles south of Terrell, TX (from Terrell, TX: bearing 173°T), and is situated 8.8 miles north-northwest of Gun Barrel City. The landscape here favors the subtle transition from timbered thickets to open plains, a terrain defined by the slow, deliberate movement of Little Cottonwood Creek as it cuts through the silty soil just two miles away. Kemp Lake holds the light of the afternoon sun in a shallow, quiet basin nearby, reflecting the pale gold of the grasses that sway in the persistent wind. On the distant western edge of the vista, the faint, hazy silhouette of Rainbow Ridge marks the limit of the view, a reminder of the geologic scale that frames this quiet inland country.

Agriculture and the modest, steady pulse of local commerce have long defined the character of Kemp, grounding its identity in the rhythms of the seasons rather than the frenzy of the city. The nearby Cedar Creek Islands Wildlife Management Area serves as a refuge for the migratory life that passes through this interior corridor, preserving a wilder, untamed side of the region that persists despite the encroachment of modern transit. Life in Kemp moves with a tempered, deliberate pace, shaped by a history of land stewardship and the quiet endurance of those who work the black soil. Residents here maintain a fierce, understated pride in their surroundings, finding a genuine beauty in the way the dusk shadows stretch across the fields, long and thin, as the heat of the day finally lifts from the prairie floor.

About This Kemp Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Kemp, Texas. Coordinates: 32.44264, -96.229977. 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 Kemp includes the ZIP code (75143), telephone area code (214, 469), county seat of Kaufman County (Kaufman), and school district assignment (Kemp 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.
