How to Use This Point, Texas Map

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

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 emerges from the flat, open expanse of the Texas blackland prairie as a quiet intersection of sky and soil. It lies 19.9 miles southeast of Greenville, TX (from Greenville, TX: bearing 136°T), and is situated 9.5 miles east-northeast of West Tawakoni. Shuffle Creek winds its way through the periphery of the landscape, its banks lined with hardy thickets that hold the moisture of the region against the relentless heat of the afternoon sun. Three miles away, the vast, still surface of Lake Tawakoni reflects the wide, pale blue of the horizon, anchoring the surrounding plains with its quiet, heavy presence. The light here has a way of bleaching the color from the grasses, leaving the fields a brittle, sun-scorched tan that deepens into a rich, bruised violet when the shadows of evening finally lengthen across the ground.

Point maintains a modest, steady existence rooted in the rhythms of agricultural life and the slow transit of goods through its corridors. The economy has long drawn its strength from the deep, fertile earth, though the quietude of the surroundings often feels more permanent than the various enterprises that rise and fall along the local roads. Residents seeking the solitude of the outdoors sometimes venture toward the Lake Tawakoni State Park Trail to traverse the terrain, or congregate in the shade offered by the trees near City Hall Park to escape the midday glare. There is a particular, unadorned honesty in the way the local life unfolds, defined less by grand monuments than by the resilience of those who remain to tend the land while the wind moves continuously over the open, empty spaces.
