How to Use This Menard, Texas Map

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

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.

Menard emerges from the high, arid plains where the San Saba River carves a ribbon of persistent green through the limestone earth. It lies 53.9 miles southeast of San Angelo, TX (from San Angelo, TX: bearing 134°T), and is situated 30.7 miles west-southwest of Brady. The landscape is defined by the Arroyo de Juan Lorenzo, a shallow basin that catches the sparse rainfall and directs it toward the riverbed, creating pockets of scrub and mesquite that endure the fierce, dry heat. To the west, the distant, hazy silhouette of the Edwards Plateau marks the edge of the sky, serving as a reminder of the rugged elevation that separates these plains from the more verdant reaches of the state. At dusk, the light here turns a brittle, pale gold, illuminating the dust motes that hang suspended in the still air above the riverbanks.

Menard carries the weight of a frontier history, anchored by the stone ruins of an eighteenth-century Spanish mission that stand as quiet observers to the passage of time. The local economy remains tied to the cycles of the land, driven primarily by ranching and the resilient agricultural traditions that have sustained families here for generations. While Clear Creek Lake offers a modest reprieve from the dryness of the surrounding terrain, the pace of daily life in Menard is dictated by the slow, seasonal rhythms of cattle and crop. It is a place where the stillness is punctuated by the occasional low hum of a passing truck or the rustle of dry grasses, reflecting a quiet tenacity that defines the character of those who remain.

About This Menard Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Menard, Texas. Coordinates: 30.917674, -99.786459. 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 Menard includes the ZIP code (76859), telephone area code (325), county seat of Menard County (Menard), and school district assignment (Menard 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.
