How to Use This Port OConnor, Texas Map

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

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.

About Port OConnor, Texas

Port OConnor is a locality in Calhoun County, Texas, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,253. The population density is 35.0 people per km². Port OConnor is located at 28.4483°N, 96.4058°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 77982.

Port OConnor occupies the low, salt-bleached edge of the coast where the horizon dissolves into a shimmering haze of humidity and reflected light. It lies 17.6 miles southeast of Port Lavaca, TX (from Port Lavaca, TX: bearing 131°T), and is situated 21.3 miles south-southwest of Palacios. Broad, marshy flats define the perimeter, offering a quiet, expansive landscape where the sky holds more weight than the earth. At the water’s edge, King Fisher Beach Park serves as the primary gateway to the tides, its sands shifting under the influence of the nearby Fishermans Cut. Inland, the flat, scrub-dotted plains stretch toward the horizon, eventually giving way to the distant, solitary rise of Pepper Hill, which marks the furthest reach of the eye. The air here carries the sharp, clean scent of brine, and at dusk, the light turns a bruised, metallic violet that seems to stain the very surface of the water.

Port OConnor maintains a rhythm dictated by the tides and the seasonal migration of those seeking the bounty of the Gulf. The local economy remains anchored to the water, relying on a long-standing tradition of commercial fishing and a modern, persistent influx of sport anglers who navigate the channels near Bayucos Island. While the pace of life remains slow, the legacy of the region is etched into the landscape, with the winding path of LaSalle Bayou providing a freshwater contrast to the brackish inlets that define the perimeter. Residents and visitors alike often find themselves looking toward the interior, where the quiet stillness of Old Town Lake offers a stark, freshwater solitude away from the relentless motion of the coast. It is a place where the work is hard, the sun is unforgiving, and the connection to the water is not merely a preference, but a fundamental condition of existence.

About This Port OConnor Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Port OConnor, Texas. Coordinates: 28.448335, -96.405807. 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 Port OConnor includes the ZIP code (77982), telephone area code (409), county seat of Calhoun County (Port Lavaca), and school district assignment.

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.
