How to Use This La Moca Ranch, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for La Moca Ranch, 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 Moca Ranch.
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 Moca Ranch, Texas
La Moca Ranch is a locality in Webb County, Texas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 25. The population density is 0.6 people per km². La Moca Ranch is located at 27.9020°N, 99.5036°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 78045.La Moca Ranch emerges from the flat, scrub-strewn expanse of the brush country as a solitary testament to the endurance of the land. It lies 27.3 miles north of Laredo, TX (from Laredo, TX: bearing 1°T), and is situated 57.1 miles south-southeast of Crystal City. The horizon here is defined by the modest elevation of Cerrito Prieto, which breaks the monotony of the plains like a dull, earthen spine against the vast, shifting sky. To the east, the drainage of Palito Blanco Arroyo quietly carves a path through the dusty earth, while the nearby banks of Tejones Creek offer a rare, fleeting refuge for local fauna beneath the shade of twisted mesquite. At dusk, the light loses its harsh midday glare, casting long, bruised shadows that stretch across the caliche soil, turning the persistent gray-green foliage into a silhouette of deep, velvet charcoal.
Life at La Moca Ranch operates on the steady, deliberate pulse of the cattle trade, a legacy passed down through generations who have learned to thrive in the unforgiving heat. The economy remains tethered to the cycles of the range, where the labor of branding and seasonal maintenance dictates the rhythm of the workweek. While the isolation is absolute, the proximity to Penitas West Community Park provides a rare space for gathering in a landscape otherwise dominated by private fences and wide, open pastures. Far from the reach of any distant water, the occasional stillness of Big Tank serves as a vital, if small, anchor for the ranching operations that have defined this territory for decades. The people here possess a quiet, tempered resolve, moving with the unhurried focus of those who understand that in a land of sparse rain and endless sun, survival is a slow and deliberate art.

About This La Moca Ranch Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Moca Ranch, Texas. Coordinates: 27.902, -99.5036. 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 Moca Ranch includes the ZIP code (78045), 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.
