Explore Langtry, 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 Langtry, 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 Langtry.
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.

Langtry maintains a stark, sun-bleached vigil over the limestone bluffs that drop sharply into the Rio Grande. It lies 50.3 miles northwest of Del Rio, TX (from Del Rio, TX: bearing 308°T), and is situated 53.0 miles northwest of Val Verde Park. The horizon stretches toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Edwards Plateau, while the immediate terrain is defined by the rugged, arid limestone outcrops that characterize this parched corner of the borderlands. Sunlight here possesses a brittle clarity, bleaching the scrub brush to a pale gray and casting long, obsidian shadows across the limestone floor of Mile Canyon as the afternoon wanes. The air, thin and dry, carries the faint, metallic scent of heated stone and parched earth, a sensory signature of a landscape that demands resilience from everything rooted within its soil.
Amistad National Recreation Area encompasses the terrain surrounding Langtry, offering a vast, quiet expanse where the desert meets the water. The local economy and history remain inextricably linked to the iron rails that cut through the brush, a vestige of the westward expansion that transformed this remote outpost into a point of brief, colorful notoriety. Today, the pace of life in Langtry follows the slow, deliberate movement of the river, far removed from the frantic pulse of larger hubs. Residents and the occasional traveler find themselves drawn to the stillness of the nearby Amistad Reservoir, a body of water that provides a singular, shimmering contrast to the dry, ochre plains that dominate the surrounding wilderness.

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.
