Explore Oak Island, 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 Oak Island, 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 Oak Island.
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.

Oak Island sits upon a vast, sun-drenched expanse where the horizon stretches flat and wide, defined by the persistent, dry heat that characterizes this interior prairie. It lies 14.1 miles south-southwest of San Antonio, TX (from San Antonio, TX: bearing 196°T), and is situated 9.7 miles west-northwest of Sandy Oaks. The landscape around Oak Island is marked by low-slung scrub and grasses that pale to a brittle gold under the relentless intensity of the noon sun. A mile to the west, the quiet path of Elm Creek cuts a thin, earthen vein through the brush, its banks shaded by sturdy, deep-rooted trees that offer the only respite from the glare. Beyond the immediate terrain, the distant silhouette of the Edwards Plateau lingers as a faint, hazy smudge against the sky, grounding the land in a geologic antiquity that seems to hold the very air in a heavy, motionless suspension.
History in Oak Island remains tethered to the slow, deliberate work of those who cultivate the soil and maintain the quiet infrastructure of the plains. Economic life here moves with the cautious rhythm of agricultural cycles, punctuated by the occasional transit of goods toward the regional centers that dominate the larger map. Not far from the residential outskirts, the Old Applewhite Trailhead provides a modest point of access for those who seek the solitude of the open brush, while the nearby basin of Long Hollow catches the seasonal runoff that sustains the local vegetation. Further out, the presence of Victor Braunig Lake offers a singular, expansive stillness in the landscape, reflecting the shifting patterns of clouds that drift over the plains. Life in Oak Island persists with an understated dignity, a place where the passage of time is measured not by the clock, but by the subtle, golden shifting of the light across the dry, resilient fields.

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.
