Explore Wallisville, 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 Wallisville, 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 Wallisville.
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.

Wallisville occupies a low, saturated expanse where the Trinity River pushes its silt-heavy currents toward the nearby Atlantic Ocean, carving a path through the flat, marshy terrain. It lies 15.7 miles east-northeast of Baytown, TX (from Baytown, TX: bearing 64°T), and is situated 9.0 miles east of Mont Belvieu. The air here holds a heavy, salt-sweet dampness, and the horizon is defined by the subtle rise of The Ridge, a distant silhouette that anchors the view against the vast, shifting skies. Within the protected boundaries of Wallisville Lake, the landscape is a patchwork of brackish wetlands and dense thickets, a place where the water seems to claim as much territory as the land. The light at dusk settles over the water in bruised hues of violet and copper, turning the surface into a mirror that reflects the slow, deliberate movement of the tide. Beyond the immediate banks, the proximity of Bird Island punctuates the nearby expanse, offering a solitary point of focus in the quiet, tidal reaches.
Wallisville carries the weight of a long-standing maritime and agricultural heritage, having once served as a vital port where early commerce moved along the river’s winding arteries. Today, the economy remains tethered to the natural rhythms of the water, with a pace that favors the patient work of those who understand the temper of the delta. The historical pulse of the place is preserved through quiet, enduring landmarks that speak to the resilience of those who first settled this humid, demanding frontier. Life in Wallisville unfolds with a sense of isolation that feels intentional, where the silence of the surrounding wetlands is broken only by the calling of birds or the distant, rhythmic hum of a passing boat. It is a place that demands a certain humility from its inhabitants, requiring a keen awareness of the water levels and the seasonal tides that dictate the flow of daily existence.

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.
