Explore Bayou Goula, Louisiana, 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 Bayou Goula, 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 Bayou Goula.
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.

Bayou Goula occupies a low, fertile stretch of land defined by the persistent, sluggish path of Bayou Tigre as it winds through the humid inland terrain. It lies 9.5 miles south of Gardere, LA (from Gardere, LA: bearing 190°T), and is situated 5.3 miles southwest of St. Gabriel. The landscape here is defined by broad, flat expanses of agricultural fields that catch the heavy, golden quality of late afternoon light, turning the horizon into a shimmer of dust and heat. Cypress trees stand as dark, watchful sentinels along the edges of the wetlands, their roots submerged in the cooling earth that remains damp long after the rains have passed. While Lake Verret lies eighteen miles away, the immediate environment is dominated by the quiet, terrestrial rhythm of inland moisture and the dense, green reach of thickets that thrive in the absence of any bracing breeze.
History permeates the soil of Bayou Goula, where the legacy of expansive plantations and the deep, layered cultural traditions of the region persist in the quiet architecture of the surroundings. The local economy remains tethered to the productivity of the land, with sugarcane fields stretching toward the horizon, marking the passage of seasons through the cycle of planting and harvest. Five miles distant, the Lsu Research Station serves as a quiet center of observation, reflecting the town’s enduring reliance on the natural sciences to sustain its agricultural heritage. Life in Bayou Goula unfolds with a deliberate, measured pace, where the weight of the past is felt not as a burden, but as a steadying presence in the daily labor of those who work the dark, heavy soil.

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.
