Explore Sun Valley, 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 Sun Valley, 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 Sun Valley.
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.

Sun Valley occupies a flat, expansive stretch of Texas prairie where the horizon line remains remarkably unbroken by height or shadow. It lies 1.5 miles south of South Houston, TX (from South Houston, TX: bearing 179°T), and is situated 3.8 miles south-southwest of Pasadena. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that magnifies the golden quality of the afternoon light, casting a long, amber glow across the grasses that shift in the wind like a slow-moving tide. Drainage patterns define the local geography, with the sluggish, silt-rich waters of Berry Bayou carving a path only a mile away, while the deeper depressions of Pine Gully lie just four miles to the north, offering a subtle variation in the otherwise level terrain. At the center of the immediate landscape, the grounds of Garfield Elementary School serve as a quiet, human-scaled anchor for the neighborhood, providing a patch of manicured green against the broader, wilder expanse of the plains.
Sun Valley maintains a steady, industrious character that reflects the broader economic currents of the region, where the steady hum of commerce and transit shapes the daily routines of its residents. Long-term inhabitants remember a time when the land was defined by agriculture, though the modern rhythm is now governed by the labor of those traveling to nearby industrial centers or maintaining the local infrastructure that keeps the area connected. Those seeking a brief respite from the pace of work often find their way to the Bonner Elementary SPARK Park Trail, located three miles away, where a paved path offers a measured route through the brush and scrubland. While the distant, silhouette-like rise of Barbers Hill remains visible far to the east on the clearest days, the people of Sun Valley remain firmly oriented toward the immediate, practical concerns of their own earth, finding a quiet endurance in the simple, sun-drenched persistence of the Texas landscape.

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.
