How to Use This San Felipe, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for San Felipe, 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 San Felipe.
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.

ZIP codes: 77474, 77473.San Felipe spreads across a quiet expanse of fertile bottomland where the heavy, humid air carries the scent of damp earth and deep-rooted timber. It lies 14.0 miles west-northwest of Fulshear, TX (from Fulshear, TX: bearing 301°T), and is situated 3.5 miles east-northeast of Sealy. The landscape defines itself by the slow, deliberate movement of the Brazos River, which flows just one mile away, carving a path through the alluvial soil that feeds the dense vegetation of Stephen F Austin State Park. Beyond the thicket of trees, the terrain levels into wide, pastoral plains, occasionally punctuated by the distant, hazy silhouette of Red Hill twelve miles to the west. Sunlight here often takes on a thick, golden quality, pooling in the low-lying fields and turning the tall grasses into shimmering blades of copper as the day wanes.
History acts as the primary architecture of San Felipe, marking it as the site where the foundations of early colonial governance were first laid in the Texas wilderness. Residents walk the Stephen F Austin State Historical Park Trail, a path that invites reflection on the shifting tides of frontier life and the labor that transformed this rugged corridor into agricultural acreage. The local economy maintains a steady, modest pulse, tethered to the rhythms of the land and the quiet endurance of its people. Life in San Felipe moves with a deliberate, unadorned grace, favoring the steady work of the fields and the preservation of a legacy that remains visible in the quiet, sun-bleached corners of the landscape.

About This San Felipe Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of San Felipe, Texas. Coordinates: 29.793009, -96.100793. 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 San Felipe includes the ZIP code (77474, 77473), telephone area code (281), county seat of Austin County (Bellville), and school district assignment (Sealy Independent School District).
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.
