How to Use This Los Arcos, Texas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Los Arcos, 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 Arcos.

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 Arcos, Texas

Los Arcos is a locality in Webb County, Texas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 83. The population density is 155.6 people per km². Los Arcos is located at 27.6144°N, 99.2105°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 78043.

Los Arcos sits upon a vast expanse of sun-bleached prairie, where the horizon stretches thin and flat under a sky that seems to possess more depth than the earth beneath it. It lies 19.7 miles east-northeast of Laredo, TX (from Laredo, TX: bearing 68°T), and is situated 23.9 miles northeast of Rio Bravo. The landscape remains defined by the relentless, dry heat of the interior, punctuated only by the subtle depression of Piedra Parada Creek, which carves a modest, verdant vein through the arid dust just a mile from the center. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of Cerrito Prieto rises against the evening light, a jagged sentinel that turns a bruised purple as the sun slips away. The air here holds a distinct, metallic clarity, often shivering with heat waves that make the scrub brush and occasional mesquite appear to dance above the caliche soil. Five miles out, the quiet surface of Piedra Parada Tank mirrors the shifting clouds, providing a rare, still anchor in a region otherwise dominated by the constant motion of wind across the plains.

Los Arcos maintains a character forged by the persistence of ranching families and the quiet endurance of those who have worked this soil for generations. While the economy has long leaned on the rhythms of cattle and the occasional pulse of energy extraction, the pace of daily life remains tethered to the slow turn of the seasons rather than the frantic demands of larger centers. Residents often find their way to Self-Help Center Park, located twelve miles away, to mark the passage of time in the open air, away from the low hum of the local trade. The architecture reflects a pragmatic utility, with weathered wood and corrugated steel structures that have learned to deflect the punishing glare of the midday sun. In the evenings, the porch lights of Los Arcos flicker on one by one, casting long, soft shadows across the gravel roads as the temperature drops and the land finally exhales the heat of the afternoon.

About This Los Arcos Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Los Arcos, Texas. Coordinates: 27.6144, -99.2105. 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 Los Arcos 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.
