How to Use This Elias-Fela Solis, Texas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Elias-Fela Solis, 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 Elias-Fela Solis.

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.

Elias-Fela Solis endures as a sprawling expanse of sun-bleached earth and resilient scrubland, where the horizon stretches flat and uncompromising under a wide, pale dome of sky. It lies 12.2 miles east of Rio Grande City, TX (from Rio Grande City, TX: bearing 88°T), and is situated 8.3 miles north-northwest of Sullivan City. The air here holds the dry, metallic scent of heated dust, punctuated only by the occasional cooling breath that drifts from the brush-thick banks of Salado Creek, a mere four miles from the center. To the west, the silhouette of Gongora Hill rises as a distant, jagged reminder of the earth’s tectonic restlessness, while the surrounding plains shimmer in the midday heat, blurring the boundary between the parched ground and the shimmering atmosphere. Even in the height of the summer glare, the light possesses a peculiar, honeyed quality that softens the harsh lines of the cactus and mesquite, casting long, violet shadows that seem to stretch for miles across the stillness of the terrain.

History in Elias-Fela Solis is marked not by grand monuments, but by the steady, persistent labor of those who carved a living from the arid soil and the seasonal cycles of the land. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of ranching and agriculture, supported by the proximity of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, which preserves the native flora and fauna in a quiet, undisturbed sanctuary just six miles away. While the pace of life maintains a deliberate, measured gravity, the proximity of La Joya Lake, eleven miles distant, provides a rare, reflective anchor in the landscape, offering a cool relief to the relentless sun. The identity of the place is forged in this intersection of isolation and industry, where the quietude of the plains and the distant, muted hum of regional commerce define the daily experience for those who call this stretch of Texas their own.

About This Elias-Fela Solis Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Elias-Fela Solis, Texas. Coordinates: 26.3856, -98.6235. 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 Elias-Fela Solis includes the ZIP code (78582), telephone area code (830), county seat of Starr County (Rio Grande City), and school district assignment (Rio Grande City Grulla 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.
