How to Use This Niederwald, Texas Map

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

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.

Niederwald occupies a quiet expanse of the Texas landscape where the golden light of late afternoon stretches long across the prairie grasses. It lies 8.5 miles southeast of Buda, TX (from Buda, TX: bearing 128°T), and is situated 9.0 miles east of Kyle. The terrain here is defined by the subtle, persistent drainage patterns that carve through the soil, directing the seasonal flow toward Elm Creek, which winds its path only a mile from the center of Niederwald. To the west, the land dips into the quiet shadows of Withers Hollow, while the horizon remains vast and unobstructed, save for the distant, hazy suggestion of the Edwards Plateau rising far beyond the reach of the immediate plains. Nearby, the still waters of Soil Conservation Service Site 12 Reservoir reflect the changing moods of the sky, serving as a silent anchor for the local wildlife that traverses the fields toward the North Hays Optimist Club.

History lingers in the deliberate pace of daily life, where the agrarian foundations of the region continue to inform the character of the modern day. Niederwald maintains a modest economic rhythm, balancing its connection to the surrounding agricultural fields with the slow, steady expansion of residential life that defines the local atmosphere. The soil, rich and heavy, has long supported those who work the land, fostering a community that values the quietude of the open horizon over the clamor of larger hubs. Even as the modern world brushes against its edges, Niederwald retains a distinct, unhurried composure, defined by the seasonal cycles of the earth and the enduring presence of the creek beds that have charted the movement of people and livestock for generations.

About This Niederwald Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Niederwald, Texas. Coordinates: 29.994192, -97.775749. 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 Niederwald includes the ZIP code (78640), telephone area code (512, 737), county seat of Hays County (San Marcos), and school district assignment (Hays Consolidated 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.
