How to Use This Castroville, Texas Map

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

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.

Castroville anchors itself firmly upon the verdant banks where the Medina River carves a slow, deliberate path through the limestone-laced soil. It lies 18.4 miles west-southwest of Leon Valley, TX (from Leon Valley, TX: bearing 238°T), and is situated 9.8 miles north-northwest of Lytle. The landscape stretches outward in a quiet expanse of fertile fields and open plains, a terrain defined by the sun’s heavy, golden weight that settles over the crops in the late afternoon. While the distant, hazy silhouette of the Edwards Plateau marks the northern horizon, the immediate environment remains intimate, characterized by the persistent, rhythmic flow of the river and the shade of ancient oaks. At the center of the grid, September Square offers a patch of greenery where the air feels cooler, holding the scent of dry grass and the stillness of a place that measures time by the shifting shadows of its own architecture.

Castroville retains the distinct fingerprints of its mid-nineteenth-century Alsatian founders, whose influence remains visible in the sturdy, hand-cut stone buildings that line the streets. This heritage persists in the local economy, which balances a quiet agricultural tradition with the steady pulse of a modern community that values its architectural legacy. Residents often gather near the Medina River, mindful of how far they reside from any coastal influence, finding contentment in the inland climate and the proximity of Medina Lake for weekend respite. Life in Castroville moves with a measured, deliberate gravity, defined by the preservation of historic facades and a collective commitment to maintaining the unique cultural rhythm that has endured since the initial settlement.

About This Castroville Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Castroville, Texas. Coordinates: 29.35579, -98.878639. 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 Castroville includes the ZIP code (78009), telephone area code (210, 726), county seat of Medina County (Hondo), and school district assignment (Medina Valley 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.
