Explore LaCoste, 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 LaCoste, 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 LaCoste.
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.

LaCoste maintains a quiet presence upon the flat, sun-bleached plains of South Texas, where the horizon stretches wide and unencumbered by the shadow of the distant Edwards Plateau. It lies 17.3 miles southwest of Leon Valley, TX (from Leon Valley, TX: bearing 222°T), and is situated 5.1 miles southeast of Castroville. Polecat Creek meanders through the periphery of the landscape, its narrow, brush-lined channel carving a modest path through the earth that dictates the local drainage and defines the rural character of the fields. The light here possesses a singular, golden clarity at dusk, casting long, thin silhouettes of mesquite and fence posts across the dry, cracking soil that seems to hold the day’s heat long after the sun has retreated. During the height of the season, the air remains still and heavy, carrying the faint, dusty scent of parched grasses and the distant, metallic hum of agricultural machinery working the surrounding acreage.
Agriculture formed the primary architecture of LaCoste, evolving from early rail-stop ambitions into a steady rhythm of seasonal harvests and small-scale trade that persists in the quiet movement of heavy trucks along local roads. Residents often look toward the Mvyba Baseball Complex as a focal point for communal life, where the evening air fills with the sharp crack of wooden bats and the collective murmur of families gathered against the cooling dark. While the expansive waters of Medina Lake remain sequestered seventeen miles away and the topography of Long Hollow lies nine miles to the north, the daily experience of the people is tethered firmly to the immediate, hardworking soil of the plains. Life here unfolds with a deliberate, unassuming consistency, marked by the changing colors of the crops and the enduring patience of those who watch the seasons turn across the open, expansive sky.

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.
