How to Use This Cienegas Terrace, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cienegas Terrace, 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 Cienegas Terrace.
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 Cienegas Terrace, Texas
Cienegas Terrace is a locality in Val Verde County, Texas, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,025. The population density is 365.7 people per km². Cienegas Terrace is located at 29.3675°N, 100.9437°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 78840.Cienegas Terrace occupies a stretch of sun-bleached earth defined by the persistent, winding path of Cienegas Creek. It lies 2.8 miles west of Del Rio, TX (from Del Rio, TX: bearing 277°T), and is situated 6.8 miles west of Val Verde Park. The landscape here is characterized by a dry, scrub-dusted topography where the heat of midday bleaches the color from the wild grasses, leaving the horizon a muted, shimmering gray. In the distance, the faint, jagged silhouette of the Edwards Plateau lingers like a memory against the vast sky, while the proximity of Cuellar’S Playground offers a localized respite of greenery amidst the arid expanse. The light at dusk settles heavily over the brush, turning the limestone outcrops into soft, honeyed monuments that hold the day's warmth long after the sun has slipped away.
Cienegas Terrace reflects the quiet persistence of life in a region where the economy has long been tied to the rhythm of the land and the sparse resources of the brush country. The legacy of the area is etched into the fence lines and the modest, utilitarian architecture that prioritizes shelter from the relentless Texas sun. While the distant, deeper folds of Castle Canyon offer a suggestion of geological drama, the daily life of the residents remains grounded in the immediate reach of the creek’s basin and the nearby waters of Walk Lake. Life moves with a deliberate, measured pace, shaped by the practical demands of a landscape that asks for patience and rewards those who observe the subtle shifts in the seasons and the quiet endurance of the soil.

About This Cienegas Terrace Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cienegas Terrace, Texas. Coordinates: 29.367451, -100.943707. 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 Cienegas Terrace includes the ZIP code (78840), telephone area code (512, 830), county seat of Val Verde County (Del Rio), and school district assignment (San Felipe-Del Rio Consolidated 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.
