How to Use This Concan, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Concan, 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 Concan.
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 Concan, Texas
Concan is a locality in Uvalde County, Texas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 480. The population density is 8.0 people per km². Concan is located at 29.4952°N, 99.7126°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 78838.Concan occupies a limestone-carved corridor where the Frio River carves a turquoise ribbon through the rugged, sun-bleached terrain of the Shut-in Hollow. It lies 20.2 miles north-northeast of Uvalde, TX (from Uvalde, TX: bearing 13°T), and is situated 51.3 miles southwest of Kerrville. {NAVIGATION_SENTENCE} The landscape is defined by the severe, vertical architecture of the surrounding bluffs, which hold the afternoon heat long after the sun has begun to retreat behind the distant, hazy silhouette of the Edwards Plateau. Vegetation here is sparse but tenacious, consisting of gnarled juniper and live oak that grip the rocky soil with a stubborn, ancient patience. The air in Concan possesses a distinct clarity, sharp and dry, amplifying the sound of the water as it spills over submerged stone ledges, creating a persistent, rhythmic hum that serves as the region's primary metronome.
Economic life in Concan remains tethered to the seasonal rhythms of the land, drawing visitors who seek the cool refuge of the river banks during the blistering heat of the Texas summer. Historically, the area functioned as a quiet expanse for ranching and agriculture, though modern life has pivoted toward stewardship and recreation, supported by the proximity of the Bradford-Hixon wildlife area. Those who venture beyond the immediate riverbanks often find themselves traversing the Garner State Park Trail, where the elevation offers a vantage point over the limestone strata that have defined the local topography for millennia. While the pace of existence remains measured, the influence of the river ensures that Concan persists as a vital, if modest, intersection of natural endurance and human seasonal migration.

About This Concan Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Concan, Texas. Coordinates: 29.495232, -99.712554. 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 Concan includes the ZIP code (78838), telephone area code (512, 830), county seat of Uvalde County (Uvalde), 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.
