How to Use This Tehuacana, Texas Map

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

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.

Tehuacana commands a high point above the surrounding plains, where the horizon stretches wide and the sky claims an immense, undivided portion of the view. It lies 24.9 miles south of Corsicana, TX (from Corsicana, TX: bearing 191°T), and is situated 5.7 miles northwest of Mexia. Elm Creek winds through the lower reaches of the landscape, its path marked by the dark, dense silhouettes of timber that contrast against the open expanse of the prairie. A mile away, the quiet waters of Soil Conservation Service Site 22 Reservoir catch the fading amber light of dusk, reflecting the shifting clouds in a mirror of still, dark glass. To the distant west, the faint, jagged silhouette of Pisgah Ridge provides a subtle anchor to the vista, grounding the vastness of the land under a thin, shifting veil of atmosphere.

Tehuacana carries the weight of a long-standing academic tradition, serving as a site where early educational ambitions left their mark upon the limestone foundations of the earth. The local economy persists with a quiet resilience, tethered to the rhythms of the soil and the slow turn of the seasons that dictate life in this interior geography. Residents look toward the nearby Mexia City Park for recreation, or find a steady, meditative pace wandering the Fort Parker State Park Hiking Trail, where the earth holds the memory of earlier travelers. Life here moves with a deliberate, unadorned gravity, defined less by the noise of modern industry and more by the enduring presence of the wind moving across the high, grassy ridges.

About This Tehuacana Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Tehuacana, Texas. Coordinates: 31.741276, -96.546928. 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 Tehuacana includes the ZIP code (76686), telephone area code (325), county seat of Limestone County (Groesbeck), and school district assignment (Mexia 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.
