Explore Pecan Gap, 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 Pecan Gap, 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 Pecan Gap.
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.

Pecan Gap stretches across a landscape defined by the quiet, persistent expansion of blackland prairie, where the horizon remains wide and unencumbered by the clutter of modern industry. It lies 21.4 miles east-southeast of Bonham, TX (from Bonham, TX: bearing 117°T), and is situated 13.5 miles north-northeast of Commerce. The earth here possesses a deep, dark fertility that drinks in the seasonal rains, feeding the grasses that ripple like a slow-moving tide under the vast, unobstructed sky. Only a mile away, the quiet passage of Johns Creek cuts through the terrain, its banks lined with the gnarled, protective embrace of native timber that offers a cool reprieve from the relentless summer heat. While the distant shadows of Hooker Ridge might haunt the far edges of a traveler’s imagination, the reality of the land is one of level, open endurance, where the light at dusk turns the soil a bruised, metallic purple before the stars assert themselves in the absolute dark of the plains.
Pecan Gap retains the echoes of an agricultural heritage that once relied heavily on the trade routes established by the railroad, forming the sturdy spine upon which the local economy was built. The rhythms of life here are dictated by the cycles of the earth and the proximity of the Caddo National Grassland, which preserves a fragment of the wilder, ancient character of the region just eight miles to the north. While the Wolfe City Reservoirs lie twelve miles distant, serving as a reminder of the vital necessity of water in this inland expanse, the daily existence of Pecan Gap remains tethered to the slow, deliberate work of farming and the quiet maintenance of a life lived far from the frantic pace of larger metropolitan centers. There is a profound, meditative stillness in the way the local air holds the scent of drying hay and turned earth, a sensory signature of a place that values the steady persistence of its own quiet history over the fleeting trends of the outside 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.
