Explore Talty, 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 Talty, 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 Talty.
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.

Talty occupies a stretch of North Texas prairie where the horizon widens into an expansive, open sky that shifts from pale amber to deep indigo as the day retreats. It lies 4.0 miles east of Heartland, TX (from Heartland, TX: bearing 99°T), and is situated 6.7 miles southeast of Forney. The landscape remains defined by the steady, unassuming presence of the earth, marked by the quiet movement of Big Brushy Creek just a mile away, which carves a path through the soil to nourish the surrounding fields. To the west, the subtle rise of Irish Ridge breaks the flatness, offering a muted silhouette against the clouds, while the calm waters of Lateral Site Number Two remain a persistent feature in the nearby topography. The air here holds a distinct clarity, carrying the scent of dry grass and turned earth, particularly during the humid, golden hours of late afternoon when the shadows lengthen across the plains.
Talty reflects the enduring character of a region that has transitioned from its agricultural roots toward a quiet, modern persistence. While the influence of larger, nearby centers often pulls at the economy, the local spirit remains anchored in the rhythm of personal enterprise and the slow, deliberate growth of a residential landscape. Those seeking the outdoors often find their way to Forney Community Park, a place that serves as a common ground for the people living in the vicinity. The history of the land is etched not in grand monuments, but in the endurance of the families who have long looked toward the open fields as the primary measure of their progress. Life in Talty continues with a measured pace, observing the seasons through the harvest cycles and the shifting light that defines this singular corner of the state.

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.
