How to Use This Nassau Bay, Texas Map

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

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 Nassau Bay, Texas

Nassau Bay is a locality in Harris County, Texas, United States. It has a population of approximately 5,347. The population density is 1692.2 people per km². Nassau Bay is located at 29.5447°N, 95.0910°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Nassau Bay is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 77058.

Nassau Bay exists where the humid breath of the coast meets the quiet, salt-tinged currents of the namesake Nassau Bay. It lies 1.7 miles east-northeast of Webster, TX (from Webster, TX: bearing 74°T), and is situated 2.6 miles north of League City. The Cow Bayou snakes through the landscape with a sluggish, deliberate grace, carving a path through the low-lying terrain toward the open water. Residents often walk the nearby Armand Bayou Nature Center Trail, where the dense foliage offers a respite from the expansive, sun-bleached sky. Beyond the immediate banks, the land stretches out in a flat, unassuming reach that feels both ancient and perpetually reclaimed by the tide. At Howard L Ward Park, the evening light catches the reeds in a way that suggests the earth itself is pausing to contemplate the coming dark.

Nassau Bay emerged from the ambitious expansion of the mid-twentieth century, shifting from quiet tidal lands into a deliberate residential enclave. The local economy remains tethered to the aerospace and engineering industries that define the surrounding region, grounding the daily labor of many citizens in the pursuit of scientific advancement. While commerce hums with the steady pulse of technical innovation, the Galveston County Industrial Water Reservoir sits nine miles away, a silent witness to the managed resources that sustain the area. The proximity to the water ensures that the rhythm of life here is dictated as much by the shifting tides as by the clockwork of professional life. This balance of industry and environment creates a workspace where the weight of technical expertise is softened by the proximity of the open, gray-blue water.

Cultural life in Nassau Bay reflects a community that values its quietude while remaining deeply connected to the broader history of space exploration. The streets are often marked by the presence of families and professionals who appreciate the subtle, humid stillness of the Gulf coast climate. Notable individuals, such as the late astronaut and moon-walker Gene Cernan, once navigated these same streets, bringing a quiet, cosmic gravity to the local experience. Public life is frequently defined by local gatherings that celebrate the intersection of maritime heritage and the forward-looking spirit of the nearby space center. Though the skyline is modest, the character of the people remains resilient and grounded, much like the slow, persistent flow of the bay itself.

About This Nassau Bay Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Nassau Bay, Texas. Coordinates: 29.544675, -95.091041. 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 Nassau Bay includes the ZIP code (77058), telephone area code (713, 832, 281, 346), county seat of Harris County (Houston), and school district assignment (Clear Creek 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.
