How to Use This Adkins, Texas Map

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

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.

Adkins occupies a quiet expanse of South Texas where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed by the distant, hazy silhouettes of the Edwards Plateau. It lies 9.9 miles south-southeast of Converse, TX (from Converse, TX: bearing 151°T), and is situated 2.7 miles west-southwest of St. Hedwig. The landscape surrounding Adkins is defined by the steady, unpretentious flow of Dry Hollow Creek, which carves a modest path through the prairie soil and sustains the patches of native brush that dot the countryside. Sunlight here possesses a particular, heavy clarity, turning the grasses to shades of pale straw and deep amber as the afternoon lengthens. Just a short distance away, the still waters of Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir mirror the shifting clouds, providing a tranquil counterpoint to the dry, sun-warmed earth that characterizes the local terrain.

The history of Adkins is rooted in a tradition of agricultural diligence, where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of life more effectively than the ticking of a clock. While the nearby Calaveras serves as a quiet sanctuary for local flora and fauna, the economy remains tethered to the land, reflecting a heritage of ranching and farming that has persisted through generations. The character of the place is marked by a deliberate restraint, a preference for the steady endurance of small-scale industry and family homesteads over the frantic pulse of the nearby metropolitan centers. People here move with a measured intention, finding a quiet satisfaction in the maintenance of fences and the cultivation of acreage that has defined the identity of Adkins for decades.

About This Adkins Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Adkins, Texas. Coordinates: 29.393013, -98.237233. 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 Adkins includes the ZIP code (78101), telephone area code (210), county seat of Bexar County (San Antonio), and school district assignment.

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.
