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

About Los Altos, Texas
Los Altos is a locality in Webb County, Texas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 175. The population density is 1778.1 people per km². Los Altos is located at 27.4904°N, 99.3858°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 78043.Los Altos occupies a stretch of sun-bleached plains where the horizon pulls wide and thin against the weight of a vast, cloud-dappled sky. It lies 7.5 miles east of Laredo, TX (from Laredo, TX: bearing 98°T), and is situated 10.5 miles north-northeast of Rio Bravo. The land here slopes with a subtle, rhythmic gravity, defined by the dry persistence of scrub brush and the silver-green reach of mesquite that survives on little more than the morning dew. Three miles away, the banks of Dolores Creek carve a jagged, seasonal vein through the parched earth, while the still, glassy surface of Lake Casa Blanca waits four miles distant, reflecting the heat of the afternoon in a pale, shimmering haze. To the west, the silhouette of El Pico stands as a lonely sentinel, a distant point of reference that anchors the shifting geometry of the fields when the light begins to fail.
Los Altos grew from the quiet necessity of the soil, maintaining an economy that remains tethered to the cycles of the earth and the slow, deliberate turn of the seasons. Residents often find a moment of reprieve at Self-Help Center Park, where the shade of native trees offers a cool contrast to the relentless intensity of the Tex-Mex sun. The life of the people here is marked by a steady, pragmatic grace, a culture shaped by the blending of traditions that have long occupied these inland corridors. There is a particular clarity to the dusk in Los Altos, when the temperature drops and the air takes on a crisp, metallic edge, reminding anyone watching that the land remains indifferent to the ambitions of those who walk upon it.

Detailed location data for Los Altos includes the ZIP code (78043), telephone area code (210, 726), county seat of Webb County (Laredo), and school district assignment (United 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.
