Explore Valera, Texas, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Valera, 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 Valera.
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.

Valera sits upon the sun-bleached expanse of the Texas plains, where the horizon stretches thin and taut against a sky of unrelenting, pale blue. It lies 32.8 miles west of Brownwood, TX (from Brownwood, TX: bearing 275°T), and is situated 8.8 miles southwest of Coleman. Home Creek carves a shallow, meandering path through the limestone-dusted earth, its presence marked by the silver-green flickers of willow and scrub brush that cling to the banks despite the parched temper of the soil. Only a mile away, the quiet stillness of Soil Conservation Service Site 11 Reservoir offers a flat, reflective mirror to the passing clouds, anchoring the landscape in a stillness that feels both ancient and immediate. When the wind moves across the grasses, it carries the dry, sweet scent of cured hay and cedar, a reminder that Valera exists as a quiet punctuation mark in a vast, open geography where the Edwards Plateau remains a distant, hazy suggestion of height far to the south.
History in Valera is written in the rusted iron of old fence lines and the weathered wood of structures that have surrendered their paint to decades of abrasive heat and prairie grit. The local economy persists as a quiet dialogue with the land, rooted in the rhythms of agriculture and the cautious stewardship of ranching, where success is measured by the resilience of livestock and the erratic mercy of rainfall. Residents often seek the shade and open space of Hords Creek Recreation Area to escape the intensity of the mid-afternoon glare, finding a modest sanctuary where the land briefly softens its grip. Life here moves with the deliberate pace of a long-settled existence, defined by the stark clarity of the light at dusk, which turns the stubble fields into a bruised, golden violet and reminds those who remain that Valera is a place of endurance rather than spectacle.

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.
