Explore Oglesby, 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 Oglesby, 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 Oglesby.
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.

Oglesby emerges from the quiet, sun-bleached expanse of the central plains, where the horizon stretches thin and taut against a relentless sky. It lies 14.0 miles east of Gatesville, TX (from Gatesville, TX: bearing 95°T), and is situated 6.0 miles west-southwest of McGregor. Station Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the limestone-dusted earth, its banks providing a meager but necessary corridor of shade for the hardy oaks and tangled brush that cling to the aridity. To the west, the distant, blunt silhouette of Bread Tray Mountain anchors the skyline, a silent sentinel watching over the cracked, calcareous soil. The air here holds the dry, metallic scent of heated stone and cured grasses, a stillness that seems to expand with the heat of the afternoon until the light turns a bruised, honeyed gold, softening the stark edges of the prairie.
Oglesby maintains a rhythm dictated by the turning of the seasons and the slow, deliberate work of the land, far removed from the frantic pace of the urban centers. The local economy remains tethered to the vast, open acreage, where cattle graze in the shadow of the regional limestone outcroppings and the memory of early agricultural settlement informs the quiet tenacity of the inhabitants. Those seeking the solace of the wild often venture toward the quiet paths of Bewly Park or the more challenging stretches of the Mother Neff State Park Trail, while the blue, expansive surface of Belton Lake acts as a rare, shimmering mirror against the monochromatic plains. Life here persists in the quiet intersections of tradition and endurance, defined not by grand gestures, but by the steady, unadorned persistence of a place that asks for little and offers a singular, stark clarity to those who stay.

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.
