Explore Whitney, 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 Whitney, 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 Whitney.
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.

Whitney occupies a vast expanse of limestone-rich prairie where the sunlight stretches thin and amber across the flat, unyielding horizon. It lies 27.6 miles south of Cleburne, TX (from Cleburne, TX: bearing 172°T), and is situated 11.9 miles west-southwest of Hillsboro. The land here remains defined by the persistent, quiet presence of Whitney Creek, which carves a modest path through the earth just a mile from the center of town. Beyond the immediate terrain, the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Powelldale Mountains provide a faint boundary to the sky, while the nearby waters of Lake Whitney temper the heat, casting a cool, reflective silver light over the surrounding scrub and oak. Residents often find their way to the Whitney Point Recreation Area to observe the slow transition of the seasons, as the wind carries the dry, earthy scent of grasses that have endured under a relentless, expansive sun.
Whitney serves as a steady pivot point for the surrounding agricultural interests, rooted in a history that values the rugged endurance of those who first broke this soil. The local economy persists in a measured, deliberate pace, reflecting the habits of a region where the Lake Whitney State Park Hiking Trail offers a solitary connection to the landscape for those seeking to traverse the brush and limestone outcrops. Further afield, the low, undulating depression of Haw Hollow marks the deeper topography of the region, separating the life of the community from the deeper, more secluded reaches of the wilderness. Daily existence in Whitney is marked by the clarity of the air and the weight of the silence that descends when the heat of the afternoon finally surrenders to the deepening violet of dusk.

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.
