Explore Medina, 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 Medina, 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 Medina.
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.

Medina occupies a limestone-streaked crease in the earth where the Medina River carves a clear, persistent path through the surrounding brush and cedar. It lies 18.5 miles south-southwest of Kerrville, TX (from Kerrville, TX: bearing 200°T), and is situated 30.8 miles west of Boerne. This landscape is defined by the rugged transition from the low-lying plains toward the distant, hazy silhouette of the Edwards Plateau, which anchors the western horizon. The terrain near Wet Hollow shifts into limestone bluffs and tight, scrub-covered ravines, creating a topography that feels both ancient and exposed. Light here has a particular quality, turning the late afternoon sky into a bruised violet that highlights the stark, pale edges of the rocky ground. Even when the heat of the day lingers in the soil, the air near the riverbed remains cool, carrying the scent of damp stone and wild native grasses.
Medina maintains its identity through a deep-rooted agricultural heritage, long famous for the orchards that thrive in the rich river soil. This economy of soil and sun persists, as the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of life for those who work the land or manage the local ranches. Beyond the immediate fields, the proximity to the Bandera Canyonlands provides a stark, protected contrast to the cleared pastures, offering a glimpse of the wilder, untamed scrub that once dominated the region. While Medina Lake sits nineteen miles away as a distant reservoir of activity, the daily life here remains centered on the quiet persistence of the river and the steady, unhurried cultivation of the apple trees that have become the primary mark of the local industry.

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.
