How to Use This Santa Rosa, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Santa Rosa, 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 Santa Rosa.
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.

ZIP code: 78593.Santa Rosa unfolds across a flat, expansive horizon where the sky claims more territory than the earth itself. It lies 9.2 miles west-northwest of Harlingen, TX (from Harlingen, TX: bearing 300°T), and is situated 9.2 miles northeast of Mercedes. The landscape remains defined by the quiet persistence of agricultural fields, stretching toward the distant, subtle elevation of Harmony Hill. Moisture gathers in the low-lying reaches of the North Floodway, while the nearby Willacy Canal draws a sharp, purposeful line through the soil, directing the essential flow that sustains the local flora. Within the quiet perimeter of Santa Rosa Community Park, the air holds a stillness that softens the edges of the afternoon, allowing the golden light of dusk to settle evenly over the plains and the dry, sun-warmed grasses.
Agriculture serves as the heartbeat of Santa Rosa, manifesting in the rows of crops that track the seasons with mechanical precision. The presence of Valley Acres Reservoir, just a short distance away, offers a necessary anchor in a region defined by its deliberate, measured pace of work and quiet domesticity. Life here respects the rhythms of the seasons, where the economy remains tied to the fertility of the ground and the industry of those who cultivate it. History in Santa Rosa feels less like a collection of dusty archives and more like a living weight, carried forward by the families who have long understood that the true character of the region is found in the steady, unassuming labor that marks the passage of every day.

About This Santa Rosa Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Santa Rosa, Texas. Coordinates: 26.348732, -98.769912. 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 Santa Rosa includes the ZIP code (78593), telephone area code (830), county seat of Cameron County (Brownsville), and school district assignment (Rio Grande City Grulla 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.
