Explore Valley View, 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 Valley View, 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 Valley View.
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.

Valley View occupies a quiet stretch of land where the horizon holds the heat of the day in a long, shimmering exhale. It lies 16.8 miles north-northwest of Longview, TX (from Longview, TX: bearing 344°T), and is situated 7.0 miles east of Gilmer. The terrain here is defined by a slow, deliberate cadence of open fields and scrub-oak thickets that give way to the subtle elevation of Camp Mountain to the north. A mile to the west, the thin, winding ribbon of Gum Creek cuts a vein through the soil, its presence marked by the denser, darker green of willows and persistent grasses. Seven miles out, the still surface of Ferguson Lake acts as a mirror for the wide, cloud-swept sky, while the distant, shadowed depression of Coal Mine Hollow hints at the deeper, forgotten contours of the earth. In the amber light of late afternoon, the dust kicked up by the wind settles into the creases of the plain, turning the world a soft, muted gold that feels both ancient and entirely indifferent to the passing of time.
Valley View carries the weight of a history rooted in the hard, unyielding labor of the soil and the persistent growth of the north Texas interior. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of agriculture and the steady, quiet expansion of regional commerce, reflecting a life lived in accordance with the turning of the seasons rather than the frantic pace of the city. Residents often look toward the wider reaches of the county for recreation, occasionally venturing out to the grounds of Gilmer City Park to find space under the trees. There is a particular clarity to the air here, a sharpness that comes when the humidity breaks and the temperature drops, revealing the stark, honest architecture of the plains. Life in Valley View moves with a gravity of its own, defined by the people who work the land and the quiet, persistent pulse of a place that prefers to be known by its own steady measure.

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.
