Explore Loma Linda East, 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 Loma Linda East, 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 Loma Linda East.
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.

Loma Linda East occupies a quiet expanse of brush-covered plains where the horizon stretches out in a flat, unyielding line. It lies 7.7 miles west of Alice, TX (from Alice, TX: bearing 279°T), and is situated 2.8 miles east of San Diego. San Diego Creek carves a narrow, erratic path through the dry earth nearby, its banks fringed with hardy scrub and sun-bleached grasses that bend under the persistent, dry winds. During the long afternoons, the light takes on a pale, amber quality, casting long shadows that seem to pull the very heat from the ground as the sun dips toward the distant, faint silhouette of San Cajo. Three miles away, the quiet boundaries of Unknown Park offer a rare reprieve of open space, where the silence is broken only by the sharp call of a hawk circling high above the dusty, sun-baked terrain.
History in Loma Linda East is measured in the slow accumulation of fence lines and the resilience of those who learned to work the stubborn, clay-heavy soil. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the land, defined by small-scale ranching and the seasonal cycles of agriculture that demand a patient, observant hand from the people who call it home. While the residents often look toward Tranquitas Lake when they seek a change of scenery, the daily life of Loma Linda East remains centered on the dusty intersections and the low-slung buildings that have weathered decades of Texas heat. It is a place where the passage of time feels deliberate, marked by the steady hum of trucks on the perimeter roads and the way the evening air turns cool and sharp, carrying the faint, metallic scent of iron and dry earth.

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.
