How to Use This La Coste, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Coste, 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 La Coste.
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.

About La Coste, Texas
La Coste is a locality in Medina County, Texas, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,207. The population density is 280.0 people per km². La Coste is located at 29.3108°N, 98.8100°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 78039.La Coste sits upon a broad, sun-bleached expanse where the earth holds the heat of the day long after the shadows lengthen across the dust. It lies 17.2 miles southwest of Leon Valley, TX (from Leon Valley, TX: bearing 222°T), and is situated 5.2 miles southeast of Castroville. Polecat Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the limestone-heavy soil nearby, its banks often dry or reduced to a silver thread that marks the passage of seasons. The horizon remains stubbornly flat, stretching toward an emptiness that feels vast and indifferent to the scattered clusters of mesquite and prickly pear. To the north, the distant rise of the Edwards Plateau silhouettes against the sky, a faint, serrated edge that reminds the traveler of the rugged terrain standing sentinel far beyond the reach of the local plains.
La Coste maintains a deliberate pace, its character forged by generations who worked the surrounding fields under a relentless, wide-open sun. The local economy persists in the quiet rhythm of agriculture and the steady transit of regional commerce, far removed from the cooling influence of any distant water. Residents often gather for recreation at the Mvyba Baseball Complex, where the crack of wood against leather serves as a familiar, rhythmic punctuation to the stillness of the afternoon. While the deeper drainage of Long Hollow waits nine miles away and the waters of Medina Lake remain a distant memory for those seeking the relief of a reservoir, the people here find their own continuity in the dry, enduring texture of the land.

About This La Coste Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Coste, Texas. Coordinates: 29.310792, -98.810025. 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 La Coste includes the ZIP code (78039), telephone area code (210, 726), county seat of Medina County (Hondo), and school district assignment.
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.
