Explore Mound, 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 Mound, 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 Mound.
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.

Mound occupies a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of limestone outcroppings and the deep, sun-bleached grasses that define the prairie. It lies 8.5 miles southeast of Gatesville, TX (from Gatesville, TX: bearing 133°T), and is situated 17.1 miles north-northeast of Killeen. The air here holds a particular, dry clarity, especially as the light leans long and amber against the rise of King Mountain to the west, casting shadows that stretch across the open plains like cooling fingers. Only a mile away, the Leon River carves a deliberate, muddy path through the earth, its presence marked by the thick, knotted roots of oaks and the sudden, lush density of riparian brush that contrasts with the surrounding scrub. Eleven miles distant, the waters of Belton Lake catch the pale sky, offering a wider horizon that anchors the local atmosphere in a stillness only broken by the occasional, distant hum of wind moving through the dry stalks of late summer.
Mound grew from the necessity of the land, its rhythm dictated by the cycles of agriculture and the slow, steady persistence of those who worked the soil in the shadow of Egypt Hollow. The economy remains tethered to this agrarian legacy, a place where the passage of time is measured not by sudden shifts, but by the maintenance of fences and the seasonal turn of the fields. While modern life moves with a different velocity elsewhere, the residents here maintain a connection to the quietude of their surroundings, occasionally venturing seven miles out to Lions Club Park to find a respite in the managed shade. Mound persists as a testament to a specific, inland endurance, where the history of the region survives in the weathered siding of older structures and the unspoken knowledge of the terrain that every inhabitant carries as a matter of course.

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.
