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

ZIP code: 78387.La Paloma Addition occupies a stretch of flat, sun-bleached earth where the horizon pulls away in every direction, offering little resistance to the heat that shimmers off the dry scrubland. It lies 14.5 miles northwest of Portland, TX (from Portland, TX: bearing 312°T), and is situated 1.5 miles south-southeast of Sinton. Chiltipin Creek meanders two miles away, its presence marked only by the deeper green of brush that clings to the low banks like a dark, verdant scar across the dust. The sky here is immense, a pale, unrelenting dome that bleaches the color from the wooden fences and metal roofs until they seem to dissolve into the gray-brown palette of the plains. A mile to the east, the quiet expanse of Speck Aiken Park provides the only deliberate shade, where the wind pushes through the dry grass with a low, rhythmic sigh that carries the scent of baked soil and dormant stone.
History in La Paloma Addition is written in the slow accretion of rusted equipment and the stubborn persistence of fence lines that trace the boundaries of older, larger tracts. The economy remains tethered to the land, moving with the seasonal pulse of agriculture and the sporadic, industrial hum of regional energy work that keeps the gravel roads humming with heavy trucks. There is a muted, functional beauty in the way the light catches the dust motes at dusk, turning the entire landscape into a suspended amber frame. Life here adheres to a quiet gravity, focused on the maintenance of one's own patch of earth, far removed from the distractions of the distant world, while the far-off rise of Chalk Hill remains a faint, jagged suggestion against the western sky.

About This La Paloma Addition Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of La Paloma Addition, Texas. Coordinates: 28.017, -97.5009. 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 Paloma Addition includes the ZIP code (78387), telephone area code (830), county seat of San Patricio County (Sinton), and school district assignment (Sinton 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.
