How to Use This Wortham, Texas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wortham, 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 Wortham.

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.

Wortham occupies a quiet expanse of the Texas interior, where the horizon stretches wide across flat, sun-bleached plains and modest rises that give way to the distant, hazy silhouette of Pisgah Ridge. It lies 21.2 miles south of Corsicana, TX (from Corsicana, TX: bearing 179°T), and is situated 7.6 miles north of Mexia. The land here holds the heat of the afternoon long after the shadows lengthen, casting a copper glow over the open fields and the low-slung, sturdy architecture of the center. Jackson Branch carves a narrow, winding path through the soil just a mile away, its presence marked by the thick, knotted growth of hardwoods that cling to the banks. During the height of the summer, the air feels heavy and still, humming with the rhythmic drone of insects that seem to define the very silence of the prairie. A short distance away, the waters of Wortham Lake Number 1 reflect the vast, unbroken sky, providing a singular point of stillness in a landscape defined by its endless, terrestrial reach.

Wortham emerged from the expansion of the railways, a development that dictated the layout of the streets and the early focus of an economy tethered to the harvest of the earth. The rhythm of daily life moves with a deliberate, measured cadence, informed by generations of families who have worked the surrounding fields or navigated the shifts of regional industry. While the bustle of larger urban centers feels worlds away, the influence of the region's agricultural heritage remains visible in the grain silos and the weather-worn storefronts that anchor the main thoroughfare. Residents often travel toward Mexia City Park for recreation, finding a communal space that serves as a quiet reprieve from the rigors of labor. The character of Wortham persists in this steady, unpretentious endurance, where the importance of the past is not shouted but felt in the way the wind moves through the tall grasses and across the aging brick of the storefronts.

About This Wortham Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wortham, Texas. Coordinates: 31.787942, -96.462481. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Wortham includes the ZIP code (76693), telephone area code (325), county seat of Freestone County (Fairfield), and school district assignment (Wortham Independent School District).

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.
