Explore Lexington, 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 Lexington, 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 Lexington.
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.

Lexington unfolds across a landscape of flat, persistent earth where the horizon stretches wide enough to swallow the midday sun. It lies 21.9 miles east-northeast of Elgin, TX (from Elgin, TX: bearing 77°T), and is situated 16.3 miles south of Rockdale. The land shifts from the heavy, dark soil of the prairies into the rising contours of the earth near Buzzard Knobs, which break the monotony of the plain six miles out. A mile from the center, the low banks of Shaw Branch offer a quiet corridor of shade, its water moving with a slow, deliberate gravity that marks the pace of the surrounding countryside. Deep in the heat of a summer afternoon, the air thickens with the scent of dry grasses and warming clay, while the light turns a bruised, honeyed gold that seems to cling to the fence lines and the weathered wood of old barns. Four miles to the west, the subtle dip of Big Hollow traps the evening shadows, providing a cool reprieve from the relentless clarity of the open sky.
Lexington grew from the dust of early agricultural settlement, a place defined by the steady, cyclical labor of the land and the quiet resilience of those who tend it. Today, the economy remains tethered to the vast, open spaces that define the region, with the nearby infrastructure of Alcoa Lake serving as a silent witness to the industrial shifts that have shaped the surrounding terrain. Visitors and locals alike find a moment of stillness at Lexington City Park, where the pulse of the day slows to match the rustle of the wind through the trees. The character of the place is not found in grand monuments, but in the way the local life mirrors the seasons—a sturdy, unpretentious existence built on the bedrock of the plains. Even as the modern world pushes against its borders, Lexington retains a sense of deep, rooted privacy, holding its history in the quiet spaces between the fields.

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.
