Explore Lolita, 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 Lolita, 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 Lolita.
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.

Lolita reveals itself through the winding, low-slung banks of Cox Creek, where the water moves with a deliberate, sluggish grace through the flat, sun-drenched plains. It lies 16.3 miles north-northeast of Port Lavaca, TX (from Port Lavaca, TX: bearing 18°T), and is situated 11.5 miles south-southeast of Edna. The landscape here is defined by an expansive, open horizon, broken only by the distant silhouette of Old Red Bluff rising three miles to the west, a solitary reminder of the earth’s subtle shifts. Sunlight hits the tall grasses of the surrounding prairie with a searing, white intensity that bleaches the color from the afternoon, casting long, lean shadows that stretch toward the nearby expanse of Lake Texana. The air carries a heavy, humid weight, pregnant with the scent of damp earth and the saline suggestion of the sea, which waits only eight miles away beyond the marshy reach of Smugglers Bayou.
Lolita maintains a quiet, industrial pulse, its history tethered to the rhythmic demands of the oil patch and the steady labor of the surrounding agricultural fields. Life here is punctuated by the passage of heavy machinery and the seasonal cycles of the land, a persistent, mechanical heartbeat that contrasts with the stillness of the nearby Palmetto Bend, where the wilder, uncultivated edges of the terrain offer a sanctuary for local fauna. Residents navigate a landscape where the primary connection to the wider world is found in the slow, deliberate work of extraction and cultivation, far removed from the urban density of the interior. For those seeking a respite in the quiet, the Lake Texana State Park Trail provides a path through the brush, allowing one to observe the transition where the solid, stubborn soil of the plains finally begins to yield to the encroaching influence of the coast.

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.
