Explore Mentone, 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 Mentone, 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 Mentone.
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.

Mentone exists as a stark, solitary silhouette carved into the vast expanse of the Permian Basin, where the horizon stretches flat and uncompromising under a sky that seems to possess more weight than the earth below. It lies 65.3 miles west of West Odessa, TX (from West Odessa, TX: bearing 262°T), and is situated 20.5 miles north-northwest of Pecos. The land is defined by a brittle, sun-bleached austerity, punctuated by the subtle indentation of Horsehead Draw three miles away and the distant, low-lying profile of Hays Hill rising faintly against the western edge of the world. Just one mile from the center of Mentone, the Pecos River carves a sluggish, winding path through the silt, its presence a quiet insistence of moisture in an otherwise arid theater of scrub brush and caliche. When the sun begins to retreat, the light catches the fine, suspended dust of the plains, turning the air into a hazy amber that softens the sharp edges of the landscape and lends the silence an almost hallowed, expectant quality.
Mentone serves as an enduring outpost of the oil patch, its economy and daily pulse tethered to the rhythmic, mechanical nodding of pump jacks that draw wealth from the deep, subterranean dark. History here is written in the language of extraction and survival, an ongoing dialogue between human ambition and a landscape that demands a hardened resilience from those who remain. While the stillness might suggest a place forgotten, Mentone operates with a functional, singular focus, far removed from the distractions of more crowded geographies. On the rare occasion that the rain finds its way to Big Tank, the water acts as a fleeting mirror for the clouds, offering a brief, shimmering change to the monochrome palette of the surrounding desert. Life in Mentone is governed by the shifting intensity of the heat and the steady, unblinking gaze of the stars, which appear with a startling, crystalline clarity once the industrial hum of the day finally subsides.

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.
