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

It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Leakey is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 78873.Leakey emerges from the limestone bedrock of the high, dry country as a concentration of white rock and cedar shadow, anchored firmly within the rugged basin of Tucker Hollow. It lies 35.9 miles north of Uvalde, TX (from Uvalde, TX: bearing 2°T), and is situated 43.2 miles west-southwest of Kerrville. The Frio River marks the edge of the landscape, its clear, cool currents carving through the earth and providing a stark contrast to the parched, sun-bleached ridges that define the horizon. Far to the east, the silhouette of the Edwards Plateau rises against the sky, a distant, jagged reminder of the geological forces that shaped this arid expanse. The air here carries the scent of sun-warmed juniper and dust, a crisp, thin clarity that persists even as the afternoon heat settles over the scrub-filled terrain.
Leakey maintains a quiet, deliberate pace of life, its economy tethered to the seasonal ebb and flow of visitors drawn to the natural limestone bluffs and the nearby, verdant corridors of Garner State Park. Generations of ranching families have left their mark on the surrounding acreage, where the land demands a hardy resilience from those who work the soil or manage the livestock. The local character is defined by a deep, unspoken connection to the terrain, a stoic pride that values the shade of a porch and the quietude of a starlit night over the frenetic energy of larger, more crowded places. In every season, the fundamental nature of Leakey remains unchanged, a persistent, solitary presence holding its own against the vast, open expanse of the surrounding wilderness.

About This Leakey Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Leakey, Texas. Coordinates: 29.728835, -99.761448. 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 Leakey includes the ZIP code (78873), telephone area code (512, 830), county seat of Real County (Leakey), and school district assignment (Leakey 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.
