How to Use This Combes, Texas Map

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

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.

Combes emerges from the flat, sun-drenched plains of the Rio Grande Valley as a quiet intersection of agricultural heritage and modern transit. It lies 4.6 miles north-northwest of Harlingen, TX (from Harlingen, TX: bearing 330°T), and is situated 8.3 miles northeast of La Feria. The landscape remains dominated by expansive fields that stretch toward the horizon, punctuated by the structural lines of the Number One Canal which cuts through the surrounding earth three miles away. Combes Community Park serves as a central point of local gathering, offering a patch of green space where the light at dusk softens the harsh lines of the mesquite and prickly pear. To the west, the North Floodway carves a subtle depression into the terrain, while the distant, singular rise of Harmony Hill provides a faint anchor for the eye against the wide, unobstructed sky.

Expansion in Combes traces back to the arrival of the railroad, an event that transformed the locality from open ranch land into a hub for the region's productive citrus and vegetable harvests. The economy maintains this deep connection to the soil, though the pace of life now moves with the steady pulse of nearby commerce and the transit of regional commuters. Residents often seek the quietude of the Arroyo Hike and Bike Trail, located six miles away, to traverse the brush-thickened paths that characterize this inland geography. While Valley Acres Reservoir lies eight miles distant, the true identity of Combes rests in the industrious rhythm of its people, who balance the legacy of long-standing farming traditions with the quiet ambitions of a modern, growing population.

About This Combes Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Combes, Texas. Coordinates: 26.234095, -97.721157. 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 Combes includes the ZIP code (78535, 78550), telephone area code (830), county seat of Cameron County (Brownsville), and school district assignment (Harlingen 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.
