How to Use This South Point, Texas Map

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

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 South Point, Texas

South Point is a locality in Cameron County, Texas, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,014. The population density is 292.8 people per km². South Point is located at 25.8687°N, 97.3836°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 78521.

South Point occupies a flat, sprawling expanse where the earth meets a sky of immense, unshielded clarity. It lies 7.4 miles east-southeast of Brownsville, TX (from Brownsville, TX: bearing 108°T), and is situated 8.8 miles southeast of Cameron Park. The terrain here is dominated by low-lying brush and saline-tolerant grasses that shiver under the persistent influence of the coastal winds, bowing toward the distant Brownsville Ship Harbor. To the west, the Rio Grande carves a sluggish, meandering path through the silt, providing a vital artery that defines the ecological character of the surrounding plains. The horizon remains stubbornly level, broken only by the distant, hazy silhouette of Loma de la Montuosa Chica, which looms like a quiet sentinel over the brush. In the stillness of late afternoon, the light turns a bruised gold, catching the fine dust suspended in the humid air and softening the harsh edges of the scrubland that stretches toward the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

South Point functions as a quiet threshold between the organized grid of agricultural development and the untamed reaches of the delta. The local economy remains tethered to the rhythms of the soil and the proximity of the border, where the movement of trade and the daily labor of the fields dictate the pace of life. History here is written in the thin, resilient layers of topsoil, shaped by the convergence of cultures that have long navigated the shifting channels of the Rio Grande. Beyond the immediate vicinity, the landscape opens toward the salt marshes and the distant, unseen presence of Goose Island, while Loma Alta Lake provides a rare, shimmering interruption in the arid monotony of the plains. South Point persists as a place of muted intensity, where the persistent hum of industry and the quiet migration of birds through the nearby refuge suggest a community engaged in a long, patient dialogue with a demanding environment.
