Explore Los Ebanos, 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 Ebanos, 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 Ebanos.
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 Ebanos marks the edge of a sun-drenched landscape where the Rio Grande carves a sluggish, mud-thickened line through the brush and silt of the borderlands. It lies 11.8 miles west of Palmview, TX (from Palmview, TX: bearing 273°T), and is situated 9.1 miles southwest of Salida del Sol Estates. The air here holds a heavy, persistent warmth that presses against the skin, smelling of dry earth and the sweet, resinous scent of mesquite. Beyond the riverbanks, the terrain flattens into an expanse of scrubland defined by the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, where the thickets provide a sanctuary for migratory birds and elusive bobcats. The light at dusk is particularly striking, turning the gray-green foliage into a silhouette of velvet against a sky that bruises into deep shades of violet and burnt orange, while four miles away, the quiet surface of La Joya Lake mirrors the vast, empty horizon.
History in Los Ebanos remains tethered to the slow, deliberate rhythm of the river crossing, a vestige of a time when the water was the primary thoroughfare for commerce and connection. The economy reflects a quiet persistence, rooted in the cultivation of the surrounding fields and the enduring movement of people across the international divide. Life in Los Ebanos unfolds with a steady, unadorned grace, defined by the bilingual cadence of conversation and the patience required to live in a place where the seasons are measured by the intensity of the sun rather than the turning of leaves. Residents navigate the day with an awareness of the land’s boundaries and the quiet intimacy of a border settlement that has seen generations pass while the current of the river remains the only constant witness to their labor.

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.
