How to Use This Amada Acres, Texas Map

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

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.

Amada Acres rests upon a flat, sun-bleached expanse where the horizon stretches thin and taut against a relentless sky. It lies 5.6 miles east-southeast of Rio Grande City, TX (from Rio Grande City, TX: bearing 117°T), and is situated 2.7 miles east-southeast of Las Lomas. The earth here is a mosaic of parched silt and stubborn scrub, defined primarily by the proximity of the Rio Grande, which carves a dark, verdant ribbon through the arid brush just one mile from the center of the settlement. To the northwest, the distant silhouette of Gongora Hill provides a singular, jagged interruption to the otherwise unbroken plains, while the air carries the dry, metallic scent of heated clay. During the golden hour, the light flattens into a pale amber, softening the harsh edges of the mesquite and casting long, skeletal shadows that seem to anchor the land to the earth with quiet, inevitable gravity.

History in Amada Acres is written in the language of irrigation ditches and the slow, deliberate expansion of agricultural plots that characterize the local economy. The Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge serves as a vital anchor for the surrounding ecosystem, protecting the dense thickets that sustain migratory birds and shy mammals against the encroachment of modern development. While La Joya Lake sits sixteen miles away, its influence is felt in the subtle shifts of groundwater that allow for the cultivation of citrus and row crops, the lifeblood of the region’s long-standing labor tradition. Daily life moves with the measured cadence of the seasons, a persistent, bilingual rhythm where the past—marked by ranching legacies and border-country commerce—remains as present as the heat that shimmers above the asphalt at noon.
