Explore Cotulla, Texas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cotulla, 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 Cotulla.
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.

Cotulla sits amidst the sun-bleached expanse of the South Texas brush country, where the arid landscape is defined by the steady, winding passage of Mustang Creek. It lies 58.7 miles southwest of Pleasanton, TX (from Pleasanton, TX: bearing 232°T), and is situated 16.4 miles south-southwest of Dilley. The air here holds a dry, heat-thickened clarity that sharpens the silhouettes of mesquite and prickly pear against an horizon that stretches toward the distant, hazy suggestion of the Edwards Plateau. At Veteran'S Park, the earth retains a quiet, dusty stillness, offering a pause in the vast, open plains where the light at dusk bleeds into deep ochre and violet, casting long, skeletal shadows across the caliche soil. The land feels ancient and indifferent, a sprawling stretch of scrubland that demands a patient, hardened resilience from everything rooted within its reach.
Cotulla bears the marks of a history etched by the cattle drives and the relentless drive of the railroads that first pushed through this frontier. The economy here pulses with the rhythmic extraction of natural resources and the cycles of ranching, a livelihood that requires an intimate understanding of the terrain’s unforgiving temperament. Life in Cotulla moves with a measured, deliberate pace, where the legacy of pioneer enterprise blends into the modern industry of the oil patch, creating a distinct, utilitarian culture. Men and women go about their days with a stoic grace, acknowledging that while the world beyond these plains continues its hurried pace, the essential character of this place remains tethered to the sun, the soil, and the enduring, quiet persistence of the brush.

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.
