How to Use This La Loma de Falcon, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Loma de Falcon, 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 Loma de Falcon.
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 Loma de Falcon, Texas
La Loma de Falcon is a locality in Starr County, Texas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 72. The population density is 323.2 people per km². La Loma de Falcon is located at 26.5369°N, 99.0961°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 78584.La Loma de Falcon occupies a stretch of parched, sun-bleached earth where the horizon pulls tight against the sky. It lies 10.4 miles north-northwest of Roma, TX (from Roma, TX: bearing 331°T), and is situated 12.0 miles northwest of Escobares. The landscape surrounding La Loma de Falcon consists of thorny scrub and low, stubborn brush that seems to hold its breath through the heat of the afternoon. Two miles to the west, the dry, winding course of Arroyo Morteros cuts a pale scar through the dirt, while the vast, glimmering expanse of Falcon Reservoir sits only three miles away, offering a stark blue contrast to the dusty, ochre-colored soil. In the distance, the silhouette of Gongora Hill rises as a singular, muted landmark, and to the south, the protected expanse of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge preserves the raw, untamed character of this arid basin.
History here is written in the resilient, deep-rooted traditions of ranching families who have long understood the necessity of endurance in such a demanding climate. Life in La Loma de Falcon moves in accordance with the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons, shaped by the needs of the land and a quiet, persistent industry that relies on the nearby water resources. Visitors occasionally wander the Falcon State Park Trail, which meanders through the brush four miles away, seeking a momentary respite from the relentless sun that bleaches the color from the wooden fence posts. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the surrounding plains and the subtle demands of the regional basin, known as the Arroyo de los Mudos, where the wind carries the scent of dry earth and sage. There is a profound, meditative stillness in the way the shadows lengthen across the hard-packed ground, marking the end of another day under the wide, uncompromising Texas sky.

About This La Loma de Falcon Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Loma de Falcon, Texas. Coordinates: 26.5369, -99.0961. 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 Loma de Falcon includes the ZIP code (78584), telephone area code (830), county seat of Starr County (Rio Grande City), and school district assignment (Roma 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.
