Explore Sherwood Shores, 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 Sherwood Shores, 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 Sherwood Shores.
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.

Sherwood Shores defines the transition where the flat, sun-baked earth begins to yield to the encroaching limestone architecture of the Texas landscape. It lies 26.9 miles northwest of Lakeway, TX (from Lakeway, TX: bearing 306°T), and is situated 5.2 miles west-northwest of Marble Falls. Elm Creek serves as the pulse of the geography, cutting a narrow, winding path through the brush that dictates the flow of the land toward the water. A mile away, the expansive surface of Lake Lyndon B Johnson catches the afternoon light, turning the horizon into a flat, metallic sheet of silver. The air here holds the dry, sharp scent of cedar and sun-warmed dirt, a stark departure from the humid zones further east. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Edwards Plateau looms as a permanent, immovable landmark, grounding the wide-open expanse of the sky.
Sherwood Shores grew from the quiet expansion of inland development, drawing those who prefer the stillness of the brush over the clamor of the urban centers. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the land and the recreational pull of the nearby water, with Valley View Park providing a necessary sanctuary for the local flora and fauna. Residents often spend their mornings navigating the terrain, sometimes heading toward the Longhorn Cavern State Park Trail to experience the deeper, subterranean geology of the region. Life moves with the deliberate pace of the seasons, influenced by the proximity to Deer Hollow, where the shadows grow long and cool well before the heat of the day fully breaks. It is a place of limestone fences and persistent scrub oak, where the history of the soil is read in the fossilized remnants found beneath the topsoil.

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.
