Explore New Waverly, 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 New Waverly, 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 New Waverly.
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.

New Waverly anchors itself firmly within the piney woods of East Texas, where the persistent current of Chicken Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the heavy clay and sandy loam of the landscape. It lies 13.5 miles south-southeast of Huntsville, TX (from Huntsville, TX: bearing 163°T), and is situated 7.8 miles north of Willis. Shepard Hill rises four miles to the west, a modest elevation that breaks the horizon and serves as a quiet sentinel over the surrounding timberland. The air here holds a distinct, resinous weight, particularly as the sun begins to slant through the loblolly pines, casting long, amber shadows that turn the forest floor into a mosaic of copper and deep shade. Only three miles away, the verdant expanse of the Sam Houston National Forest begins, offering a vast, untamed buffer of dense canopy and thick undergrowth that defines the ecological character of the entire region.
New Waverly carries the quiet gravity of a settlement forged by the intersection of rail lines and the steady, demanding labor of the lumber industry. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of these woods and the pragmatic commerce of a place that values industry over ornament, with the nearby Sam Houston National Forest continuing to shape the movement and livelihoods of those who call the area home. While the Huntsville State Park Trail lies six miles away for those seeking a deliberate path through the wilderness, the daily life of the residents is defined more by the hum of transit and the persistent, slow growth of the timber trade. The proximity to Lake Conroe, just six miles distant, provides a cooling contrast to the dry heat of the interior, serving as a focal point for the regional geography where the land finally yields to the stillness of open water.

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.
