Explore Loma Linda West, 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 West, 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 West.
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 West emerges from the arid expanse as a sun-bleached settlement defined by the stark, unrelenting geometry of the brush country. It lies 5.4 miles east-northeast of Roma, TX (from Roma, TX: bearing 79°T), and is situated 7.4 miles west-northwest of Rio Grande City. The landscape here is characterized by low-lying scrub and thorny thickets that cling to the earth, stretching toward the rounded silhouette of Gongora Hill five miles to the north. Moisture is a precious, fleeting guest in this basin, save for the seasonal persistence of the Arroyo Garceño, which meanders just a mile away, and the deeper, ancient depression of the Arroyo los Morenos that marks the terrain two miles distant. During the golden hour, the light flattens against the dust, turning the gray-green foliage into a shimmering, metallic haze that seems to suspend the world in a state of perpetual, quiet waiting.
Loma Linda West maintains a pulse dictated by the rhythms of the borderland, where the economy remains tethered to the rugged demands of ranching and the careful stewardship of the land. Residents find respite in the sparse shade of Garceno Park, a sanctuary that provides a modest contrast to the vast, open plains that define the horizon. While the expansive waters of Falcon Reservoir wait sixteen miles away as a distant, blue promise, the daily life of the inhabitants is focused on the immediate soil and the steady, unadorned work of the region. History here is not written in grand monuments, but in the enduring resilience of those who cultivate a living from the dry earth, finding a singular, austere beauty in the persistence of life against the heat of the Texas sun.

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.
