Explore Oakville, 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 Oakville, 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 Oakville.
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.

Oakville defines the quiet intersection of parched earth and persistent, low-slung scrub that marks the transition into the brush country. It lies 21.7 miles west of Beeville, TX (from Beeville, TX: bearing 279°T), and is situated 8.1 miles north of George West. Sulphur Creek carves a winding, somber path past the settlement, its bed often dry or reduced to a series of stagnant, sun-bleached pools that reflect the relentless intensity of the noon sky. To the west, the subtle depression of Friday Hollow cradles the heat, while the silhouette of Odom Hill rises seven miles distant, a muted brown mound against the vast, pale expanse of the horizon. Beyond the immediate reach of the creek, the land stretches out in a series of arid, sun-baked plains, where the light at dusk turns the dusty grasses a bruised, metallic gold that seems to vibrate against the cooling air.
Oakville stands as a remnant of a time when the cattle drive and the rail line dictated the survival of the frontier, its history written in the weathered wood of structures that have long outlived their original purpose. The local economy persists through the rhythm of ranching and the slow, heavy turn of agriculture, a life defined by the necessity of managing the scrub and the stubborn soil. Residents find a rare, shade-filled reprieve five miles away at Tips Park, a sanctuary from the open range that remains a vital point of assembly for those who call the surrounding flats home. Though the bustle of modern commerce has drifted elsewhere, Oakville retains a singular, stoic character, marked by the occasional passage of a truck on a distant road and the absolute, unwavering stillness that settles over the landscape once the sun dips below the far, flat edge of the world.

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.
