How to Use This Ama, Louisiana Map

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

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 Ama, Louisiana

Ama is a locality in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,290. The population density is 142.2 people per km². Ama is located at 29.9521°N, 90.2965°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 70031.

Ama defines the horizon where the heavy, humid atmosphere of the low-lying plains meets the constant, rhythmic presence of the Mississippi River. It lies 3.4 miles east of Destrehan, LA (from Destrehan, LA: bearing 79°T), and is situated 8.9 miles west-southwest of Metairie. The landscape here is defined by the alluvial weight of the riverbed, which pulls the gaze toward its long, brown currents as they carve through the flat, silt-rich earth. St. Marks Park offers a quiet threshold for the local flora, providing a small patch of green where the heat seems to settle into the soil during the long, amber-hued afternoons. While the distant Davis Crevasse marks the geological memory of the land three miles away, the immediate terrain remains dominated by the expansive, open vistas that characterize this inland reach.

Ama carries the weight of a history rooted in the cultivation of the land, where the economy has long been tethered to the cycles of industry and the slow, deliberate pace of the river corridor. The air is often thick with the hum of regional commerce, a steady vibration that contrasts with the stillness found closer to the banks of Lake Cataouatche, six miles to the west. Life here moves with a certain gravity, shaped by the convergence of industrial labor and the persistent, quiet influence of the river that dictates the flow of the day. It is a place where the light at dusk turns the expansive fields into a deep, bruised violet, reflecting a character that is as grounded as the heavy, dark clay beneath the feet of those who live and work in the shadow of the levee.
