Explore Miles, 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 Miles, 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 Miles.
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.

Miles stretches across the sun-bleached expanse of the Texas plains, defined by the quiet persistence of Battle Creek as it carves a path through the earth. It lies 17.6 miles east-northeast of San Angelo, TX (from San Angelo, TX: bearing 58°T), and is situated 16.9 miles southwest of Ballinger. This landscape holds a stark, horizontal beauty, where the sky claims more space than the soil and the light at dusk turns the dry grasses into a bruised shade of gold. Four miles away, the waters of Soil Conservation Service Site Number 2 Reservoir reflect the immense, open dome of the atmosphere, providing a still counterpoint to the movement of the wind. Though the distant silhouettes of the Edwards Plateau remain only a memory on the far horizon, the immediate terrain maintains a rugged, unadorned integrity that favors the hardy over the ornate.
Miles grew from the dust of the frontier, its economy long tethered to the slow cycles of agriculture and the patient labor of those who work the surrounding dirt. While Deep Hollow marks the deeper topography ten miles out, the daily pulse of the locality remains steady, centered on the rhythm of the harvest and the small-town commerce that keeps the main streets functional. Local life finds its quiet recreation at Mullins Crossing, a place where the stillness of the land offers a respite from the mechanical hum of modern industry. The character of Miles is found in this endurance, a place where the history of the plains is written not in monuments, but in the enduring habit of showing up to work while the heat shimmers off the 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.
