How to Use This Oakland, Texas Map

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

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 Oakland, Texas

Oakland is a locality in Cherokee County, Texas, United States. Oakland is located at 32.5712°N, 95.7555°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 78951, 77541, 75103.

Oakland occupies a quiet expanse of East Texas where the land breathes through the low-slung humidity of the piney woods. It lies 10.8 miles south-southeast of Jacksonville, TX (from Jacksonville, TX: bearing 164°T), and is situated 4.3 miles west-northwest of Rusk. Beans Creek carves a deliberate, muddy path through the terrain, its waters serving as a persistent artery for the local flora and the surrounding thickets. Only four miles to the north, the silhouette of Mount Hope rises as a solitary anchor against the horizon, while the verdant boundaries of Rusk / Palestine State Park offer a sanctuary of loblolly and shortleaf pine just a mile away. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, heavy clarity, turning the long shadows of the trees into deep, bruised violet strokes that settle over the damp earth.

Oakland bears the quiet weight of a landscape shaped by generations of agricultural labor and the slow, steady extraction of timber. The local economy persists in the rhythm of the seasons, rooted in the legacy of small-scale farming and the surrounding forestry trades that draw their lifeblood from the proximity of Fairchild State Forest. Those who traverse the Mount Hope Tract Trail find a path that has been worn smooth by boots and time, echoing the modest, persistent history of a place that favors utility over ornament. On days when the air is still, the proximity to the quiet waters of City Lake provides a mirror for the sky, reflecting a stillness that defines the character of Oakland as it goes about the business of the day.
