Explore Lipan, 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 Lipan, 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 Lipan.
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.

Lipan occupies a quiet stretch of land where the earth shifts from open prairie into the stubborn, scrub-dusted limestone of the regional plains. It lies 15.6 miles west-northwest of Granbury, TX (from Granbury, TX: bearing 290°T), and is situated 12.5 miles west of Oak Trail Shores. Weaver Branch cuts a modest, winding path through the landscape, its seasonal flow carving a subtle depression in the soil that sustains the deep-rooted oaks clinging to the banks. Four miles to the west, the silhouette of Double Mountain rises against the horizon, a constant, silent marker that anchors the view as the sun pulls long, violet shadows across the fields at dusk. The air here carries the dry, honest scent of sun-baked grass and limestone dust, a stillness that feels less like emptiness and more like an abiding patience held by the land itself.
History lingers in the way the local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the soil, with cattle and agriculture defining the daily labor that keeps Lipan moving forward. While the expansive waters of Lake Granbury offer a cooling presence twelve miles away, the life of the locality is lived closer to the ground, marked by the steady, unpretentious work of those who tend the surrounding acreage. Residents might travel toward the Roger R Fawcett Wildlife Management Area to find refuge in the wilder, managed stretches of brush, yet there is a distinct, localized pride in the quietude of the plains. Far from the rush of major centers, the pace of life is dictated by the turning seasons and the enduring necessity of the land, preserving a character that values endurance over flash.

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.
