Explore Woodbranch, 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 Woodbranch, 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 Woodbranch.
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.

Woodbranch remains defined by the persistent, winding course of Peach Creek, which shadows the landscape with a slow, deliberate gravity. It lies 2.2 miles northeast of New Caney, TX (from New Caney, TX: bearing 37°T), and is situated 6.0 miles north-northeast of Porter. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness that magnifies the scent of damp earth and pine, especially as the light leans toward amber in the late afternoon. Beyond the immediate banks of the creek, the terrain transitions into a subtle, textured expanse of woodland and flat prairie that stretches toward the horizon. To the west, the subtle rise of Crater Hill breaks the monotony of the plain, while the proximity of Unknown Park offers a quiet sanctuary of dense vegetation that seems to absorb the noise of modern life. Nine miles to the south, the surface of Lake Houston mirrors the sky, providing a distant, expansive anchor to the otherwise sheltered, inland character of the terrain.
Woodbranch evolved from the quiet expansion of the regional timber and residential shifts that have long characterized this portion of the state. Life in Woodbranch moves with a steady, unforced pace, focused primarily on the maintenance of neighborhood life and the slow reclamation of the land by native flora. While the local economy is largely integrated into the broader patterns of the surrounding region, the presence of Orton Gully four miles away serves as a reminder of the geological history that shaped the drainage and development of the area. Residents often find their rhythms dictated by the seasons, noticing how the shadows lengthen across the yards and how the water levels in the creek fluctuate after a sudden storm. It is a place where the architecture of daily existence is built upon a foundation of modest, enduring utility rather than grand, sweeping ambition.

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.
