Explore Longview, 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 Longview, 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 Longview.
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.

Longview emerges from the East Texas landscape as a place defined by its sturdy relationship with the inland earth and the persistent, quiet growth of its pine-dotted terrain. It lies 11.2 miles northeast of Kilgore, TX (from Kilgore, TX: bearing 45°T), and is situated 7.3 miles east-southeast of White Oak. The geography here is marked by a subtle, undulating topography that resists the flat horizon, offering instead a series of soft swells that catch the amber light of a fading afternoon. Grace Creek winds its path just a mile from the center, acting as a steady, liquid pulse through the woods, while the calm waters of Lake Lamond provide a mirror for the towering hardwoods that stand watch over the local flora. Though the distant, hazy silhouette of Union Ridge remains far removed from the daily shuffle, the land itself feels grounded in the deep, clay-rich soil that has sustained generations of residents under the wide, expansive sky.
Longview traces its roots back to the mid-nineteenth century, a period when the expansion of the railroad acted as a catalyst for the formal organization of the settlement. Those early years were shaped by the sweat of pioneers who saw potential in the crossroads of trade, transforming a quiet stretch of woodland into a hub of commerce that would eventually weather the shifting tides of the twentieth century. The founding of Longview was less a singular event and more a slow gathering of families and entrepreneurs who recognized the strategic value of the location. As the years progressed, the town evolved from a modest rail stop into a center of regional gravity, keeping its historical integrity intact while adapting to the relentless, forward-moving cadence of progress.
Longview functions as a vital engine for the regional economy, drawing strength from a diverse array of industries that range from energy production to advanced manufacturing and modern healthcare. The infrastructure here is meticulously planned to support the movement of goods and people, serving as a pillar for the surrounding counties and providing a stable foundation for a workforce that values productivity. Educational opportunities are anchored by institutions like LeTourneau University, which fosters a distinct blend of technical discipline and intellectual inquiry, ensuring that the next generation remains well-equipped for the complexities of the modern marketplace. This pragmatic approach to development creates a steady, reliable atmosphere where commerce is treated with a certain gravity, reflective of a population that takes pride in the tangible output of its daily labor.
Longview maintains a cultural character that balances the fervor of Friday night lights with the quiet appreciation of local heritage and the beauty of Magrill Park, a space that serves as a verdant retreat for those seeking a moment of respite from the professional grind. Major annual events bring the people together to celebrate the specific rhythms of the seasons, turning public spaces into arenas of shared memory and social connection. While the town does not claim the fame of the world’s largest metropolises, it has seen its share of notable figures pass through its doors, including individuals like the legendary actor Matthew McConaughey, who spent his early years absorbing the unique air of this region. Whether gathered at a stadium or walking through the shade of a local park, the people of Longview carry themselves with a calm, deliberate grace, moving through a life that is as enduring as the trees that frame their horizon.

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.
