How to Use This Oyster Creek, Texas Map

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

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.

Oyster Creek anchors a low-slung expanse of the Gulf coastal plain, where the horizon dissolves into a shimmering, indeterminate line between heavy humidity and the salt-thickened air. It lies 3.8 miles north-northeast of Freeport, TX (from Freeport, TX: bearing 26°T), and is situated 4.0 miles north-northwest of Brazosport. The landscape unfolds as a flat, verdant tapestry of salt marsh and stubborn coastal grasses, interrupted only by the slow, meandering pulse of Oyster Creek as it cuts a dark, reflective path toward the Stauffer Turning Basin. Beyond the immediate banks, the terrain holds the quiet persistence of East Union Bayou, a body of water that mirrors the pale, expansive sky. A short distance away, the silhouette of Cone Island rises slightly from the marsh, a solitary break in the featureless expanse, while the distant, man-made rise of Hoskins Mound marks the edge of the perceptible world. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar, syrupy quality in the late afternoon, turning the brackish water to liquid bronze and casting long, skeletal shadows across the grass.

Oyster Creek carries the quiet weight of a region defined by the shifting tides of industry and the endurance of the marshland. The economy remains tethered to the rhythmic demands of the nearby coast, where the heavy machinery of extraction and transit hums in the distance, a constant, low-frequency vibration against the silence of the flats. Life within the boundaries of Kiddieland Park offers a small, local respite, where the scale of human activity feels appropriately modest against the vast, encroaching wild. History here is not written in monuments but in the slow reclamation of the land by the weather and the saline breath of the Gulf. Residents navigate a pace dictated by the seasonal shifts in the water, moving with a grounded familiarity through a geography that demands both respect and a certain stillness of spirit, as if the land itself were waiting for the next tide to erase the day’s work.

About This Oyster Creek Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Oyster Creek, Texas. Coordinates: 29.003024, -95.331882. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Oyster Creek includes the ZIP code (77541), telephone area code (281), county seat of Brazoria County (Angleton), and school district assignment (Brazosport Independent School District).

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.
