Explore Poth, 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 Poth, 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 Poth.
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.

Poth anchors a wide expanse of South Texas where the horizon stretches thin and flat, broken only by the occasional silhouette of a mesquite tree or the rising geometry of grain silos. It lies 25.0 miles east-northeast of Pleasanton, TX (from Pleasanton, TX: bearing 73°T), and is situated 6.3 miles southeast of Floresville. The soil here possesses a deep, iron-rich hue, grounding the landscape in a somber, fertile permanence that seems to absorb the heat of the afternoon sun. Nearby, the water of Marcelinas Creek traces a slow, meandering path through the brush, its banks lined with the gnarled roots of ancient trees that drink deeply from the clay. To the northwest, the Marcelinas Hills provide a subtle interruption to the prairie, their gentle slopes catching the golden, dusty light of dusk in a way that turns the gray-green scrub into a sea of shifting bronze.
Agriculture remains the pulse of Poth, an economy tethered to the seasonal yield of the surrounding fields and the methodical labor of those who work them. The settlement carries the quiet weight of its foundations, built by families who arrived to carve a livelihood from the brush and who remain defined by a persistent, unyielding industry. While the quietude of the plains suggests a stillness, the local life is punctuated by the routine of the harvest and the gatherings that anchor the school year, fostering a community identity that is as sturdy and unadorned as the architecture of its modest, enduring structures. Beyond the immediate grid of the streets, the land opens into vast stretches of ranching territory, including the nearby Pecan Park, where the silence is broken only by the rustle of wind through high, dry grass and the distant, rhythmic hum of progress.

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.
