Explore El Camino Angosto, 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 El Camino Angosto, 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 El Camino Angosto.
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.

El Camino Angosto rises from the flat, sun-drenched plains of South Texas, where the horizon stretches into a wide, unbroken expanse of earth and sky. It lies 1.6 miles south-southwest of San Benito, TX (from San Benito, TX: bearing 211°T), and is situated 6.3 miles south-southeast of Harlingen. The landscape is defined by its subtle, arid character, characterized by stretches of brush and open fields that shimmer under the relentless intensity of the afternoon heat. Only a mile away, Landrum Park offers a modest sanctuary of native flora, providing a quiet respite from the surrounding expanse of dry, sun-baked soil. In the distance, the faint, jagged silhouette of Loma Alta anchors the northwestern view, a silent sentinel presiding over the vast, quiet basin that descends toward the Tule Lake Bed. The light here has a peculiar quality, turning the dusty air to gold as the sun retreats, casting long, thin shadows that seem to stretch toward the distant, unseen reaches of the interior.
El Camino Angosto maintains a deliberate, steady tempo, rooted in the rhythms of agricultural cycles and the quiet industry of a border-country economy. Residents often find themselves drawn toward the water of the Cameron Company WCID 2 Reservoir 2 or the banks of the Arroyo Colorado, both of which serve as vital, cooling veins in a region otherwise defined by its thirst. On cooler mornings, the Arroyo Hike and Bike Trail attracts those seeking a reprieve from the heat, winding through the scrubland that has sustained local generations since the land was first cleared for irrigation and crops. The culture of El Camino Angosto remains a quiet confluence of heritage and labor, where the history of the soil is reflected in the resilience of its people and the modest, enduring structures that define its streets.

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.
