How to Use This Tiki Island, Texas Map

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

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.

Tiki Island rises from the salt-sprayed marshlands like a deliberate arrangement of pilings and timber, its low-slung geography defined by the relentless pulse of the tides. It lies 5.9 miles south-southeast of La Marque, TX (from La Marque, TX: bearing 147°T), and is situated 7.2 miles west of Galveston. The air here holds a heavy, briny moisture, a permanent dampness that clings to the skin and carries the scent of decaying cordgrass and distant, open-water currents. To the east, the expanse of Jones Bay stretches out in a flat, shimmering sheet of gray-blue, reflecting the sharp, pale light of a sky that feels vast and unencumbered. Even the vegetation seems to bow in deference to the prevailing winds, with mangroves and scrubby coastal brush marking the edges where the solid ground of Tiki Island finally surrenders to the encroaching reach of the bay.

The local economy and rhythm of life are tethered to the water, manifesting in a collection of stilted homes that prioritize elevation over permanence, designed to weather the inevitable surges of the Gulf. History here is written in the maintenance of boat docks and the seasonal migration of recreational vessels, a quiet industry of leisure that avoids the clamor of the mainland. While Bayou Vista City Park offers a nearby reprieve of green space just two miles away, the character of the island remains solitary, defined by the narrow canals that snake between residential lots. Residents navigate a world where the horizon is the ultimate landmark, a place where the sun sets with a bruised, violet intensity that momentarily transforms the utilitarian architecture into something starkly beautiful against the darkening water.
