How to Use This Wyldwood, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Wyldwood, 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 Wyldwood.
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.

About Wyldwood, Texas
Wyldwood is a locality in Bastrop County, Texas, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,694. The population density is 118.5 people per km². Wyldwood is located at 30.1294°N, 97.4728°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 78612.Wyldwood occupies a stretch of land where the earth rises in subtle, deliberate swells toward the distant silhouette of Caldwell Knob. It lies 9.5 miles west of Bastrop, TX (from Bastrop, TX: bearing 278°T), and is situated 3.4 miles north-northeast of Cedar Creek. The geography is defined by the persistent, low-slung presence of Greens Creek, which carves a quiet path through the soil, drawing the eye toward the dense, tangled undergrowth that buffers the nearby McKinney Roughs Nature Park. Sunlight here possesses a particular, heavy clarity, turning the dry grasses to a pale, brittle gold that seems to vibrate against the deep green of the oak stands. Beyond the immediate thickets, the terrain opens into the expansive reach of Hemphill Prairie, where the wind moves with an uninterrupted, restless intent across the scrub.
Wyldwood maintains a character forged in the silence of the inland plains, far removed from the frantic pace of the urban centers that pull at the edges of the horizon. The local economy remains anchored to the land, tethered to the slow cycles of agriculture and the maintenance of the sprawling tracts that define the regional identity. Residents often traverse the Southern Loop Trail, finding a common rhythm in the dust and the heat that settles over the region long before the sun dips below the western rim. While Lake Bastrop offers a cooler, gathered stillness a few miles away, the daily pulse of Wyldwood remains tied to the creek beds and the stubborn, resilient fiber of a landscape that asks for little and expects only endurance from those who choose to stay.

About This Wyldwood Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Wyldwood, Texas. Coordinates: 30.129382, -97.472774. 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 Wyldwood includes the ZIP code (78612), telephone area code (512, 737), county seat of Bastrop County (Bastrop), and school district assignment (Bastrop 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.
