How to Use This Hillside Acres, Texas Map

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

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.

Hillside Acres emerges from the vast, sun-bleached expanse of the Texas plains, where the horizon stretches thin and taut against a sky of unrelenting blue. It lies 23.4 miles east-northeast of Laredo, TX (from Laredo, TX: bearing 60°T), and is situated 28.4 miles northeast of Rio Bravo. Dry grasses sway in rhythmic, muted waves across the tawny soil, punctuated only by the skeletal shapes of mesquite and the occasional limestone outcropping that catches the amber light of late afternoon. Two miles to the north, the waters of Piedra Parada Tank hold the reflection of passing clouds, while the nearby banks of Becerra Creek harbor a narrow, shaded corridor of hardy scrub and willow. The air here carries a dry, mineral clarity, sharpening the edges of the world until the distant silhouette of Las Hermanas appears as a faint, jagged ink-line against the darkening west.

Hillside Acres maintains a quiet, deliberate pace, anchored by a legacy of ranching and the slow, grinding persistence of the regional energy industry. The economy remains tethered to the land, drawing sustenance from the deep, subterranean reservoirs of oil and the seasonal cycles of cattle grazing that define the local calendar. Residents often gather at the edge of the Self-Help Center Park, sixteen miles distant, where the preservation of the native landscape offers a rare, quiet sanctuary from the encroaching machinery of modern development. Life in Hillside Acres is defined by the persistent, honest labor of those who know the temperament of the soil, a place where the cultural threads of the borderlands interlace with the enduring, pragmatic grit of the high plains.

About This Hillside Acres Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hillside Acres, Texas. Coordinates: 27.6762, -99.1777. 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 Hillside Acres includes the ZIP code (78043), telephone area code (210, 726), county seat of Webb County (Laredo), and school district assignment (United 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.
