Explore Kendalia, 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 Kendalia, 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 Kendalia.
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.

Kendalia occupies a quiet stretch of limestone-rich earth where the sun bleaches the tall grasses to a pale, brittle straw by mid-afternoon. It lies 16.9 miles west-northwest of Canyon Lake, TX (from Canyon Lake, TX: bearing 293°T), and is situated 18.4 miles north of Timberwood Park. The terrain is defined by the rugged character of the surrounding brush, where stubborn oaks cling to rocky slopes and the air carries the dry, earthen scent of a landscape long shaped by seasonal drought. Nearby, the water of Rawls Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the limestone, offering a cool respite just one mile from the center of the settlement. Beyond the immediate terrain, the distant silhouette of the Edwards Plateau marks the horizon, a reminder of the vast, elevated geography that defines this inland region. The light here has a way of thickening as the day wanes, casting long, sharp shadows that emphasize the stark, unyielding textures of the ground.
Kendalia grew from the modest ambitions of settlers who found purpose in the harsh requirements of ranching and small-scale agriculture. The economy remains rooted in this tradition, maintaining a slow, deliberate pace that favors the persistence of livestock and the quiet maintenance of the land over the frantic growth seen in the more crowded corridors of the state. Visitors occasionally pass through on their way to the natural preserves found at Guadalupe River State Park, or to hike the Guadalupe River State Park Trail, yet the locality retains a sense of seclusion that defies easy intrusion. Five miles away, the dramatic shifts in elevation within Big Spring Canyon suggest a deeper, more ancient topography than the flat plains found further east. Life in Kendalia persists as a conversation between the people and the unforgiving, beautiful geography that demands their constant, careful attention.

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.
