Explore Los Arrieros, 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 Los Arrieros, 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 Arrieros.
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.

Los Arrieros occupies a sun-bleached expanse of thornscrub and mesquite, where the horizon flattens into a persistent, shimmering heat haze. It lies 8.8 miles north-northwest of Roma, TX (from Roma, TX: bearing 331°T), and is situated 18.9 miles west-northwest of Rio Grande City. The earth here is a palette of pale ochre and dusty clay, textured by the skeletal reach of cacti and the intermittent, silver-leafed shade of drought-hardy brush that clings to the limestone-flecked soil. To the north, the terrain dips toward the shallow, sun-warmed expanse of Falcon Reservoir, while the seasonal temperament of Arroyo la Minita carves a quiet, often dry vein through the surrounding plains. The presence of Gongora Hill provides a singular, earthen rise in the distance, breaking the monotony of the scrubland and catching the bruised purples and golds of the evening light as the sun retreats behind the basin of Arroyo de los Mudos.
Life in Los Arrieros remains tied to the cycles of the land, echoing the legacy of the drovers and ranch hands who once navigated these dusty corridors of the borderlands. The economy persists through a quiet adherence to livestock and the stewardship of the regional brush, while the nearby Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge serves as a sanctuary for the migratory birds and elusive cats that traverse this rugged interior. Residents often find their way toward the Falcon State Park Trail for a moment of solitude among the cacti, or observe the slow, deliberate pace of a life governed by the scarcity of water and the abundance of open space. The culture of Los Arrieros is a quiet synthesis of resilience and solitude, where the daily hum of existence is punctuated only by the whistle of the wind through the dry grasses and the long, deliberate shadows that stretch across the prairie at dusk.

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.
