Explore Richland, 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 Richland, 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 Richland.
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.

Richland occupies a quiet expanse of North Central Texas where the horizon stretches wide across flat, sun-bleached plains and modest elevations. It lies 18.2 miles southwest of Sulphur Springs, TX (from Sulphur Springs, TX: bearing 226°T), and is situated 20.0 miles north-northeast of Wills Point. Turkey Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the earth here, its presence marked by the thick, knotted growth of riparian brush that persists even when the water runs thin under the summer heat. Five miles away, the surface of Case Lake catches the pale, vertical light of late afternoon, creating a mirror that deepens the surrounding stillness. The climate dictates a rigorous cycle of growth and dormancy, with the air often holding a dry, metallic clarity that makes the distant silhouettes of oaks appear sharp against the pale, bleached sky.
Richland retains the steady, deliberate character of a place built upon the rhythms of agriculture and the slow passage of rail-driven commerce. The local economy remains tethered to the land, reflecting a legacy of stewardship that has seen families cultivate these fields for generations. While the pace of life favors the unhurried, the influence of the wider region hums in the background, a reminder of the industrial and logistical networks that connect these plains to the rest of the world. Those seeking a broader connection to the landscape often travel the nine miles toward City Hall Park, where the maintained grounds provide a point of intersection for the local population. In the quiet intersections of Richland, the history of the soil remains the primary narrative, written in the enduring architecture of the storefronts and the sprawling, quiet reach of the surrounding fields.

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.
