How to Use This North Alamo, Texas Map

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

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.

About North Alamo, Texas

North Alamo is a locality in Hidalgo County, Texas, United States. It has a population of approximately 3,722. The population density is 1012.7 people per km². North Alamo is located at 26.2173°N, 98.1289°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 78516, 78589.

North Alamo stretches across a flat, sun-drenched expanse where the horizon seems to pull the sky down until it brushes the dusty, fertile earth. It lies 2.4 miles north of Alamo, TX (from Alamo, TX: bearing 351°T), and is situated 6.3 miles east of McAllen. The air here carries a dry, persistent heat that softens the edges of every silhouette, leaving the land defined by the steady, unyielding light of the southern plains. North of the primary settlement, the terrain remains largely open, broken only by the thin, purposeful lines of irrigation that sustain the local agriculture. To the north, the distant outline of Sunrise Hill provides a faint, steady marker against the shimmering haze of the afternoon, while the nearby San Juan Community Resource Center and Park offers a patch of maintained greenery that serves as a quiet anchor for the surrounding residential life.

North Alamo maintains a pace dictated by the seasonal cycle of its fields and the steady flow of the Edinburg East Main Canal, which marks the regional reliance on managed water. The Main Floodway serves as a reminder of the landscape’s hydrological reality, carving a low, persistent path that shapes the movement of local industry and development. Life in North Alamo feels connected to the older, agrarian roots of the region, where the economy remains tied to the soil and the methodical labor of those who work it. Evenings here bring a deep, velvet stillness, and one might spend a weekend morning walking the Schupp Park Trail, watching how the light catches the dry grasses long before the heat of the day fully settles over the flat, expansive grid of the neighborhood.

About This North Alamo Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of North Alamo, Texas. Coordinates: 26.217296, -98.128897. 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 North Alamo includes the ZIP code (78516, 78589), telephone area code (830), county seat of Hidalgo County (Edinburg), and school district assignment (Pharr-San Juan-Alamo 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.
