How to Use This Pendleton, Texas Map

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

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.

Pendleton occupies a quiet stretch of central Texas where the horizon flattens into expansive, sun-bleached prairie. It lies 6.7 miles north of Temple, TX (from Temple, TX: bearing 357°T), and is situated 7.5 miles east-northeast of Morgan's Point Resort. The land here is defined by a slow, rhythmic transition from open pasture to dense clusters of oak and cedar, shaped by the subtle shifts in elevation that define the regional terrain. A mile away, the water of Kings Branch carves a narrow, winding path through the limestone, its presence marked by the distinct, humid scent of damp earth and willow that rises when the heat of the day begins to wane. To the west, the silhouette of Tweedle Mountain rises as a muted, jagged break against the sky, while the proximity to Belton Lake, just five miles to the north, draws a cool, heavy moisture into the air that lingers long after the sun has retreated behind the scrub.

Pendleton carries the weight of a long-settled agrarian spirit, sustained by the steady, quiet labor of ranching and local agriculture that has defined the region for generations. Residents find a respite in the nearby grounds of Trojan Park, a space where the stillness of the landscape offers a reprieve from the persistent hum of the modern world. While the pace of life remains slow, the influence of the nearby Miller Springs Nature Center Trail, nine miles off, encourages a deep familiarity with the rugged, limestone-rich topography that stretches toward the distant, silent reaches of Coxs Hollow. In the evenings, the light in Pendleton takes on a pale, bruised violet hue, catching the high, dry grasses and turning the fields into a sea of shifting gold that speaks to the endurance of this inland soil.

About This Pendleton Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Pendleton, Texas. Coordinates: 31.195576, -97.324234. 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 Pendleton includes the ZIP code (76579, 76564, 76501), telephone area code (254), county seat of Bell County (Belton), and school district assignment (Troy 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.
