How to Use This Point Comfort, Texas Map

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

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.

Point Comfort occupies a low, expansive stretch of the Texas coast where the land yields slowly to the heavy, salt-thickened air of the Gulf. It lies 6.0 miles northeast of Port Lavaca, TX (from Port Lavaca, TX: bearing 42°T), and is situated 28.2 miles east-southeast of Victoria. Salt grass and cordgrass thrive in the brackish margins near Catfish Bayou, creating a persistent, verdant edge that softens the transition between the solid earth and the shifting tides. A mile inland, the still, dark surface of Mud Lake Number 4 mirrors the immense, cloud-streaked sky, while the brackish currents of Cox Creek wind through the marshy perimeter to drain the surrounding plains. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the distant, hazy silhouette of Old Red Bluff far to the north, which serves as a solitary anchor in an otherwise flat, water-dominated vista.

Point Comfort maintains a deliberate, industrial character, defined largely by the presence of large-scale manufacturing that has shaped its modern economic life and skyline. The proximity to deep-water access dictates the rhythm of the local economy, drawing labor toward the maritime and petrochemical sectors that operate with a silent, mechanical intensity against the backdrop of the shore. Residents often seek respite at Lighthouse Beach Park, where the expansive shoreline provides a quiet perspective on the bay, far removed from the bustle of the processing plants. Life here is measured by the changing intensity of the coastal winds and the steady, functional pulse of its industry, which persists with a quiet resilience beneath the vast, shifting light of the Texas sun.
