Explore Waskom, 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 Waskom, 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 Waskom.
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.

Waskom emerges from the dense, pine-shadowed landscape of East Texas, where the earth holds a deep, rust-colored iron richness beneath a canopy of loblolly and shortleaf pines. It lies 18.5 miles east-southeast of Marshall, TX (from Marshall, TX: bearing 104°T), and is situated 5.6 miles west-northwest of Greenwood. The terrain here is defined by subtle, fluid transitions in elevation, creating a quiet patchwork of woodland and cleared pasture that catches the amber quality of the late afternoon sun. A few miles to the west, the waters of Bullard Creek trace a slow path through the undergrowth, while thirteen miles to the north, the sprawling, cypress-studded expanse of Caddo Lake influences the humidity of the air. Beyond the immediate tree line, the distant, gentle ridges of the Pine Hills soften the horizon, providing a backdrop to a landscape that feels ancient and undisturbed, save for the occasional clearing near the Department Of Transportation Area.
Waskom maintains a steady, deliberate pace, shaped by a history deeply intertwined with the development of regional transit and the quiet endurance of local industry. The economy has long mirrored the broader shifts of the region, balancing the legacy of timber and oil with the rhythms of those who travel the corridors connecting the state to its eastern neighbors. Life in Waskom is marked by the hum of the passing highway and the stillness of the surrounding woods, a duality that defines the local character. Long-standing local landmarks and the modest, sturdy architecture of the residential streets reflect a resilience that has persisted through cycles of growth and change, grounding the lives of those who remain in the quiet, wooded corners of this border-straddling locality.

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.
