How to Use This Solis, Texas Map

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

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.

Solis emerges from the flat, sun-drenched plains of the brush country as a quiet settlement defined by the relentless intensity of the southern light. It lies 4.4 miles east of Mercedes, TX (from Mercedes, TX: bearing 79°T), and is situated 9.4 miles west-southwest of Harlingen. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the distant silhouette of Harmony Hill, which provides a singular, muted verticality to the vast expanse of the surrounding terrain. Two miles to the east, the waters of La Feria Reservoir hold the reflection of the sky in a stillness that contrasts with the seasonal pulse of the Arroyo Colorado, a waterway that cuts through the arid soil with a slow, deliberate gravity. The landscape here is defined by the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge, where the dense, tangled thickets of native vegetation provide a sanctuary for species that favor the deep, quiet scrub. During the evening hours, the heat finally relents, replaced by a cooling draft that carries the scent of baked earth and wild sage across the open fields.

History in Solis is written in the long, methodical cycles of agriculture and the persistent endurance of those who work the land under the weight of the midday sun. The local economy relies on the careful management of the fertile basin, particularly near the Arroyo Anacuitas, where the soil yields to the demands of cultivation and irrigation. While the pace of daily life is dictated by the seasons, there is a distinct, understated character to the people who maintain the intricate irrigation networks and the sprawling ranches that define the district. For those seeking a deeper connection to the topography, the Arroyo Hike and Bike Trail offers a path through the brush, ten miles removed from the center of activity but essential to the way the residents map their surroundings. Solis remains an anchor in this landscape, a place where the proximity to the wilderness and the demands of the harvest create a quiet, unwavering sense of purpose.

About This Solis Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Solis, Texas. Coordinates: 26.179141, -97.849461. 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 Solis includes the ZIP code (79834, 78559), telephone area code (915, 830), county seat of Cameron County (Brownsville), and school district assignment (La Feria 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.
