Explore Panola, 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 Panola, 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 Panola.
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.

Panola exists as a quiet convergence of pine-shadowed earth and expansive, open sky, where the humid air holds the scent of damp needles and warming clay. It lies 20.6 miles southeast of Marshall, TX (from Marshall, TX: bearing 129°T), and is situated 9.1 miles southwest of Greenwood. The land stretches out in a series of gentle, wooded swells that rise and fall with the slow respiration of the East Texas landscape, while the serpentine course of East Fork Socagee Creek carves a thin, reflective ribbon through the dense undergrowth just a mile from the center. Only three miles away, the dark, still waters of Furrh Lake catch the pale amber light of late afternoon, mirroring the loblolly pines that press close to the banks. Even on the clearest days, the distant silhouette of Sixmile Hill remains a faint, hazy suggestion on the horizon, too far to define the immediate horizon but present enough to anchor the vastness of the plains.
Panola retains the deep, stubborn character of a place built on the cycles of timber harvest and the patient labor of the soil. The economy has long been tethered to the land, moving from the hard-won gains of early agriculture to the steady, rhythmic pulse of rural industry that keeps the local pace deliberate and unhurried. Eight miles away, the Department Of Transportation Area serves as a reminder of the infrastructure that binds this patch of ground to the wider world, yet the daily life in Panola remains defined by the local road and the porch-light conversations that outlast the setting sun. Here, the history is not written in grand monuments but in the enduring habit of working the earth, maintaining a quiet persistence that defines the character of those who live under these wide, uncrowded skies.

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.
