How to Use This Megargel, Texas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Megargel, 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 Megargel.

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.

Megargel endures under a vast, vaulted sky that seems to press the color out of the horizon, leaving the landscape in shades of sun-bleached wheat and dusty sage. It lies 40.5 miles southwest of Wichita Falls, TX (from Wichita Falls, TX: bearing 218°T), and is situated 11.3 miles west-northwest of Olney. The terrain unfolds in a series of parched, rhythmic swells, a quiet prairie expanse where the wind carries the dry scent of cured grass across the open plains. Two miles away, the modest channel of Kickapoo Creek carves a thin, intermittent vein through the soil, while the Megargel Creek Reservoir rests four miles to the north, holding its stillness against the heat. On the furthest edge of vision, the faint, hazy silhouette of the Belknap Mountains marks the boundary of the world, a reminder of the geologic distance that separates this solitary reach from the rest of the rugged continent.

Megargel emerged from the ambitions of the early twentieth century, an outpost defined by the persistent pulse of agriculture and the sporadic, rhythmic boom of the oil patch. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a place that has long understood the necessity of patience, where the local economy remains tethered to the cycles of the harvest and the slow, mechanical nodding of pump jacks. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the geography deepens toward the topographical depression of Coon Hollow, while the quiet grounds of Griffin Park offer a rare reprieve of shade for those who seek the solitude of the brush. The character of Megargel is found in the resilience of its architecture and the unadorned honesty of its people, who hold their history in the quiet spaces between the seasons.
