How to Use This Yorktown, Texas Map

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

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.

Yorktown emerges from the flat, scrub-brushed plains as a quiet intersection of open prairie and steady, sun-bleached horizons. It lies 32.5 miles west-northwest of Victoria, TX (from Victoria, TX: bearing 292°T), and is situated 15.1 miles west-southwest of Cuero. Yorktown Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the landscape, its banks lined with brush and thickets that hold the damp heat long after the sun has retreated. The light here has a way of thickening in the late afternoon, turning the dust kicked up from the surrounding fields into a pale, golden haze that settles over the low-slung buildings. Beyond the town limits, the terrain stretches out in an unbroken expanse of agricultural earth, punctuated only by the distant, hazy silhouette of Van Cleave Mound rising sixteen miles away to break the monotony of the sky.

History in Yorktown is measured in the persistence of the oil patch and the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons that dictate the rhythm of the local economy. German settlers once brought a particular order to this soil, a legacy that lingers in the sturdiness of the architecture and the pragmatic approach to the land that defines the people today. While life moves at a pace set by the cattle and the crop cycles, the presence of Duale Park offers a quiet space for the community to retreat from the relentless work of the fields. Far from the reach of any large body of water, the town relies on the slow accumulation of rain and the distant, unseen presence of the Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir to sustain the thirsty, dark-soiled acreage that has supported generations of families.
