Explore Moulton, 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 Moulton, 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 Moulton.
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.

Moulton emerges from the quiet, expansive plains where the Lavaca River carves a subtle, winding path through the heavy soil. It lies 38.2 miles southeast of Lockhart, TX (from Lockhart, TX: bearing 124°T), and is situated 19.3 miles east-northeast of Gonzales. Frederick Mound rises just a mile away, a solitary sentinel punctuating the horizon as the sunlight stretches thin and golden over the grasses. The air here holds a stillness that gathers in the low spots, particularly toward the Pettit Prairie Flats, where the land opens wide and flat under a sky that feels immense. At Moulton City Park, the trees offer a muted shade, their leaves brushing against the wind in a way that suggests a slow, deliberate passage of time. The landscape is defined by this unassuming geography, a place where the earth is hardworking and the light at dusk turns the dusty fields into shades of deep amber and violet.
Moulton carries the quiet weight of its agricultural heritage, a legacy built on the steady labor of those who first broke the stubborn ground. The local economy remains anchored to the rhythm of the land, reflecting a history of farming that persists in the quiet industry of the fields. Beyond the immediate reach of the town, the memory of early settlers is held in the architecture of older buildings that stand with a sturdy, unadorned grace. Life in Moulton moves with the predictable cycle of seasons, far removed from the frantic pace of larger hubs, finding its pulse in the daily errands and the infrequent, sharp whistle of a train. Even when the heat of midday presses down, there is a lingering sense of endurance here, a commitment to a way of life that values the tangible over the ephemeral.

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.
