Explore Petty, 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 Petty, 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 Petty.
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.

Petty asserts its quiet presence upon the red-clay earth of North Texas, where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered by the shadow of any distant peak. It lies 15.2 miles west-southwest of Paris, TX (from Paris, TX: bearing 255°T), and is situated 17.3 miles north-northwest of Cooper. Rowdy Creek carves a slender, rhythmic path through the landscape, its seasonal flow acting as a pulse for the surrounding fields of tall grass and scrub oak. The air here holds a clarity that sharpens the edges of the afternoon, especially as the sun begins to lean toward the western plains, casting long, amber-hued silhouettes across the fences. Ten miles to the north, the waters of Lake Crockett offer a stillness that mirrors the vast, open sky, providing a rare depth of blue in a countryside defined by the shifting, earthy tones of the prairie.
Petty maintains a character defined by the endurance of its agricultural roots, a legacy that lingers in the weathered wood of old barns and the steady, mechanical hum of tractors during the harvest. While the Caddo National Grassland lies nine miles away, providing a sprawling expanse of protected terrain that speaks to the region's wilder origins, the local economy remains tethered to the patient labor of the soil. Life in Petty moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, unhurried by the frantic demands of more crowded corridors, leaving space for the quiet observation of hawks circling above the fields. The resilience of the people here is reflected in the way the community persists, grounded by the steady geography of the basin and the enduring, humble utility of the land that sustains them.

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.
