Explore Live Oak, 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 Live Oak, 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 Live Oak.
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.

Live Oak maintains a steady, deliberate presence upon the expansive plains of Texas, defined by the quiet persistence of its inland landscape. It lies 2.3 miles southwest of Selma, TX (from Selma, TX: bearing 234°T), and is situated 4.1 miles west-northwest of Schertz. The Salitrillo Creek carves a path through the terrain, its water reflecting the pale, shifting light of the afternoon sky as it moves toward the horizon. Two miles from the center, the Soil Conservation Service Site 5 Reservoir offers a still, reflective surface that breaks the rhythmic expanse of the surrounding fields. While the Edwards Plateau remains a distant silhouette over a hundred miles away, the immediate surroundings favor a flatter, open character that demands a certain resilience from the land. Residents find a modest outdoor reprieve at the Universal City Dog Park, where the air holds the scent of dry grass and sun-warmed earth.
Live Oak emerged from the transformation of rural acreage into a suburban expanse, mirroring the steady growth of the surrounding region. The local economy relies on a blend of commercial enterprise and service sectors that keep the pace of life functional and predictable. Small businesses and professional offices occupy the thoroughfares, providing the necessary infrastructure for a population that values stability over rapid, disruptive change. This economic character is shaped by the proximity of major transportation routes, which facilitate the movement of goods and people across the vast, interior expanse of the state. Industry here is quiet and utilitarian, focused on maintaining the everyday needs of a populace that prefers the clarity of suburban organization.
Live Oak carries a cultural identity forged by the confluence of diverse Texan influences, resulting in a community that values neighborliness and private life. The character of the people is marked by a certain reticence, a preference for actions over grand declarations that echoes the vast, open space of the plains. While the region lacks grand, world-famous monuments, the local gathering spots and suburban parks serve as the quiet anchors of social interaction. The rhythm of the days is dictated by the transition of seasons, from the intense heat of high summer to the brief, cool relief of winter evenings. Well-known figures such as the musician George Strait have ties to this broader region, their creative work reflecting the same grounded, unpretentious spirit that defines the local atmosphere.

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.
