How to Use This Schulenburg, Texas Map

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

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.

Schulenburg occupies a gentle expanse of the Texas prairie where the landscape unfolds in a series of broad, sun-drenched swells and fertile agricultural plains. It lies 38.6 miles southeast of Bastrop, TX (from Bastrop, TX: bearing 140°T), and is situated 7.5 miles west of Weimar. The Black Bayou meanders through the immediate vicinity, its slow, dark waters carving a quiet path through the soil and providing a perennial, reflexive stillness to the low-lying terrain. Beyond the immediate reach of the channel, the horizon remains wide and open, occasionally broken by the distant, hazy silhouette of Obar Hill to the west. In the stillness of the afternoon, the light here possesses a singular, golden density that clings to the stalks of tall grasses and casts long, melancholy shadows across the fields, lending the land an air of patient, enduring solitude.

Schulenburg carries the indelible marks of its nineteenth-century migration, a heritage still audible in the cadence of local speech and visible in the sturdy, deliberate architecture of its older buildings. The local economy remains anchored to the rhythms of the earth, drawing strength from long-standing traditions of ranching and farming that have sustained families for generations. Residents gather beneath the shade trees of Lions Park, a central point of quiet congregation where the pace of life adheres to the turning of the seasons rather than the urgency of the clock. While the bustle of the modern world persists at the periphery, Schulenburg maintains a distinct, reflective character, defined by its commitment to community and a deep, unspoken respect for the land that stretches toward the horizon.

About This Schulenburg Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Schulenburg, Texas. Coordinates: 29.6819, -96.903037. 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 Schulenburg includes the ZIP code (78956), telephone area code (830), county seat of Fayette County (La Grange), and school district assignment (Schulenburg 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.
