How to Use This Seco Mines, Texas Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Seco Mines, 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 Seco Mines.
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: 78852.Seco Mines emerges from the arid, sun-bleached expanse of the borderlands where the land stretches wide and flat beneath a pale, unrelenting sky. It lies 2.7 miles north of Eagle Pass, TX (from Eagle Pass, TX: bearing 3°T), and is situated 4.9 miles north of Eidson Road. Seco Creek carves a shallow, stony path through the terrain, its dry bed occasionally holding the amber light of late afternoon like a guttering candle. Scrub brush and hardy grasses cling to the alkaline soil, their muted greens offering a stark contrast to the bleached limestone fragments that scatter across the ground. The horizon remains vast and unobstructed, though the distant, hazy silhouette of the Edwards Plateau occasionally catches the eye when the air turns crisp and clear.
Seco Mines bears the quiet weight of its industrial origins, a legacy etched into the earth where the promise of coal once drew workers to the edge of the brush. The rhythm of daily life here moves with a deliberate, tempered pace, reflecting a culture deeply rooted in the resilience of the border-country experience. Residents gather at the Seco Mines Community Center, a focal point that anchors the social life of the neighborhood amidst the dust and the quiet industry of the region. Life in Seco Mines continues to find its purpose in the steady, unassuming work of the people who maintain their homes in this remote, sun-drenched territory, far from the frantic pace of larger centers.

Detailed location data for Seco Mines includes the ZIP code (78852), telephone area code (512, 830), county seat of Maverick County (Eagle Pass), and school district assignment (Eagle Pass 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.
