How to Use This Midfield, Texas Map

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

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.

About Midfield, Texas

Midfield is a locality in Matagorda County, Texas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 356. The population density is 297.5 people per km². Midfield is located at 28.9378°N, 96.2080°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 77456, 77458.

Midfield stretches across a flat, expansive horizon where the sky holds a heavy, pressurized quality, pressing down on the tall grasses that brown in the heat of late summer. It lies 14.8 miles west-southwest of Bay City, TX (from Bay City, TX: bearing 258°T), and is situated 18.3 miles south-southeast of El Campo. The land here remains largely unadorned, defined by the slow, deliberate movement of wind through the brush and the subtle depression of the earth toward the banks of Wallace Creek, which meanders just a mile away. Light at dusk takes on a bruised, amber hue, casting long shadows from the occasional mesquite tree that manages to anchor itself in the stubborn clay. Far to the northwest, the faint, hazy silhouette of Pepper Hill rises to break the monotony of the plains, serving as the only true landmark in a landscape that otherwise demands an intimate focus on the ground beneath one's boots.

Midfield grew from the quiet necessity of agricultural labor and the steady pulse of regional commerce that has long defined this part of the country. The economy relies on the stubborn persistence of local farming and the quiet industry of landowners who manage the surrounding acreage with a keen awareness of the shifting seasons. Life here maintains an internal consistency, far removed from the bustle of the larger hubs, though residents often look toward the protected expanse of Us-Tx-132-2 for a reprieve into the wilder, unmanaged brush. Whether traveling eleven miles to sit by the quiet, still water of Jennings Lake or simply watching the trucks navigate the local roads, one senses that Midfield values a certain stoic independence, preferring the slow, predictable rhythm of the harvest and the reliable turning of the sun over any hurried pace of modernity.

About This Midfield Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Midfield, Texas. Coordinates: 28.93776, -96.20802. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Midfield includes the ZIP code (77456, 77458), telephone area code (281), county seat of Matagorda County (Bay City), and school district assignment (Tidehaven Independent School District).

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.
