How to Use This Charco, Texas Map

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

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 Charco, Texas

Charco is a locality in Goliad County, Texas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 280. The population density is 5.0 people per km². Charco is located at 28.7405°N, 97.6156°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 77963.

Charco occupies a quiet expanse of Goliad County where the horizon stretches thin and flat against a pale, expansive sky. It lies 24.8 miles north-northeast of Beeville, TX (from Beeville, TX: bearing 19°T), and is situated 19.9 miles east-southeast of Karnes City. The land here is defined by the slow, deliberate passage of light, which turns the dry grasses into shades of copper and straw as the sun descends toward the distant silhouette of Lookout Hill. Only a mile away, the quiet flow of Charco Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the brush, providing a vital, hidden vein of moisture in the otherwise parched earth. Further afield, the topography yields to the gentle depression of Carr Hollow, while the waters of Soil Conservation Service Site 2 Reservoir offer a still, reflective surface that breaks the monotony of the scrubland.

History lingers in the weathered fence lines and the remnants of early agricultural efforts that once promised a prosperity rooted in the soil. Charco remains a place where the economy is tethered to the slow pulse of ranching and the stewardship of the land, far removed from the frantic pace of larger hubs. Residents move with the steady, measured habits of a community that has long understood the necessity of self-reliance, finding beauty in the way the air cools after a summer storm or how the shadows lengthen across the open plains. While the proximity to Branch River Park provides a connection to the wilder, wooded reaches of the region, the true character of Charco is found in the silence of its pastures and the enduring endurance of its people.

About This Charco Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Charco, Texas. Coordinates: 28.740541, -97.615553. 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 Charco includes the ZIP code (77963), telephone area code (409), county seat of Goliad County (Goliad), 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.
