Explore Old River Winfree, 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 Old River Winfree, 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 Old River Winfree.
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.

Old River Winfree asserts itself upon a low, damp expanse where the pulse of the earth is dictated by the slow, meandering persistence of the Old River. It lies 12.6 miles northeast of Baytown, TX (from Baytown, TX: bearing 43°T), and is situated 3.8 miles east-northeast of Mont Belvieu. The landscape here is defined by a heavy, humid stillness, where the sky seems to press against the salt-tinged horizon, hinting at the proximity of the coast only seven miles away. To the north, the rise of Barbers Hill breaks the flat horizon, while the surrounding terrain is etched by the drainage of Cherry Point Gully and the quiet, stagnant depth of Old River Lake. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar, thick quality, turning the marsh grasses into blades of burnished copper as the light fades toward the distant reach of Horse Island Bayou.
Old River Winfree carries the weight of a settlement forged from the stubborn necessity of the Gulf coast periphery, its history tied to the brackish waters that ebb and flow through the nearby basin. The economy remains tethered to the land and the waterways, where the presence of Wallisville Lake provides a vast, protected corridor for the natural world to reclaim its own. Life in Old River Winfree moves with the deliberate pace of a tide, indifferent to the frantic velocity of the modern world, anchored instead by the rhythm of the seasons and the shifting moods of the bayou. Beyond the reach of Bird Island, the air holds a persistent, briny scent, reminding those who linger that the land is merely a fragile margin held against the encroaching sea.

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.
