How to Use This The Hills, Texas Map

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

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.

The Hills occupies a limestone-strewn plateau where the air holds the dry, persistent heat of the interior plains. It lies 1.4 miles south-southeast of Lakeway, TX (from Lakeway, TX: bearing 164°T), and is situated 6.3 miles west-southwest of Steiner Ranch. Hurst Creek carves a narrow, serpentine path through the limestone bedrock nearby, its flow often dictated by the seasonal cadence of rainfall that defines the local hydrology. Beyond the immediate terrain, the landscape opens into a series of limestone ridges that echo the distant, rugged character of the Edwards Plateau. Sunlight at dusk catches the sharp edges of the exposed rock, turning the gray stone into a pale, glowing bronze that illuminates the Lakeway Blvd Trails. This land remains quiet, defined by the scrub oaks and the persistent, thirsty reach of cedar trees that cling to the thin, nutrient-poor soil.

Historical growth in The Hills reflects a deliberate transition from raw, rugged acreage into a residential enclave that values seclusion and the proximity of open water. Residents here often look toward the expansive, shimmering surface of Lake Travis, which provides a cooling reprieve and a focal point for the regional economy. Life moves in alignment with the nearby Hamilton Pool Nature Trail, where the slow erosion of the earth has created geological formations that draw those who seek stillness. While the proximity of Hickson Hollow offers a subtle variation in the elevation of the terrain, the local character remains anchored in a refined, suburban pace that honors the wilder, untamed spirit of the surrounding countryside.
