How to Use This Baldwin, Louisiana Map

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

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.

Baldwin stretches across a flat, low-lying expanse where the humid air hangs heavy with the scent of damp earth and thick, encroaching vegetation. It lies 20.0 miles southeast of New Iberia, LA (from New Iberia, LA: bearing 125°T), and is situated 3.9 miles northwest of Franklin. The Bayou Teche carves a serpentine path directly past the landscape, its dark, sluggish waters reflecting the shifting canopy of moss-draped cypress trees that define the horizon. To the south, the invisible pull of the Gulf of Mexico, only nine miles distant, dictates the temperament of the climate, casting a persistent, saline moisture over the fields that renders the afternoon light a pale, milky gold. The local terrain remains largely defined by the presence of Unknown Park, which offers a quiet, unadorned sanctuary for the flora and fauna that thrive in this humid, subtropical basin.

Baldwin maintains a quiet existence grounded in the enduring rhythms of the sugarcane industry, which dominates the surrounding acreage and dictates the seasonal pulse of the local economy. The history of the area is layered into the very soil, where the remnants of agricultural expansion and the influence of diverse cultural migrations have left a faint, indelible mark on the character of the inhabitants. Life here unfolds at a measured, deliberate pace, far removed from the frantic acceleration of larger centers, as the community remains oriented toward the cycles of the harvest and the waterways that once served as the primary arteries of trade. Travelers passing through may notice the proximity of Upper Island and Lake Fausse Pointe, both of which serve as silent, distant points of reference in a landscape that prioritizes the steady, grounded labor of the present over the clamor of modernity.

About This Baldwin Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Baldwin, Louisiana. Coordinates: 29.841277, -91.554886. 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 Baldwin includes the ZIP code (70514), telephone area code (985), county seat of St. Mary Parish, and school district assignment (St. Mary Parish 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.
