How to Use This Dilley, Texas Map

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

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.

Dilley emerges from the flat, scrub-heavy expanse of South Texas as a quiet point of orientation amid the relentless brush. It lies 46.7 miles west-southwest of Pleasanton, TX (from Pleasanton, TX: bearing 244°T), and is situated 16.2 miles south-southwest of Pearsall. The horizon here is vast and indifferent, dominated by mesquite thickets and the low, dusty silhouettes of cacti that thrive in the heat. To the north, the ground dips toward the drainage of Martin Branch, where the earth darkens slightly and holds a stubborn, fleeting moisture. While the distant, hazy blue of the Edwards Plateau remains a phantom of the far northern skyline, the immediate terrain of Dilley is defined by the subtle, arid undulations of the brush country, where the sunlight at dusk bleeds a bruised purple across the plains, turning the jagged limbs of the scrub into ink-black silhouettes against a furnace-glow sky.

Agriculture and the pulses of the energy sector have long defined the rhythm of life in Dilley, anchoring the local economy to the deep, shifting resources of the subterranean landscape. Residents often find themselves moving in sync with the seasonal demands of the land, while the nearby Park provides a modest, essential pocket of stillness where the local flora persists in its slow, evolutionary patience. History here is quiet, reflected in the weathered facades that face the roads and the enduring bilingual cadence of daily conversation that bridges generations. Eight miles away, the subtle depression of Panther Hollow breaks the monotony of the flatlands, serving as a reminder of how water, however scarce, continues to carve its slow, invisible path through the heritage of Dilley.

About This Dilley Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Dilley, Texas. Coordinates: 28.66748, -99.170589. 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 Dilley includes the ZIP code (78017), telephone area code (210, 726), county seat of Frio County (Pearsall), and school district assignment (Dilley 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.
