Explore Bernice, 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 Bernice, 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 Bernice.
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.

Bernice holds the quiet, clay-heavy earth of North Louisiana in a steady, unyielding grip. It lies 20.7 miles north of Ruston, LA (from Ruston, LA: bearing 357°T), and is situated 15.0 miles west-northwest of Farmerville. Bull Creek carves a narrow, winding path through the landscape, its dark waters moving with a deliberate, slow-motion grace beneath the canopy of pine and hardwood. The air here carries the scent of damp soil and pine needles, a persistent fragrance that marks the transition from the humid, shadowed lowlands toward the distant, hazy silhouette of Gum Ridge far to the north. Only three miles away, the Middle Fork Of Bayou D'arbonne preserves the wilder, untamed character of the region, where the light at dusk filters through the tangled branches in long, amber slats that seem to pause the very movement of the sun.
Bernice emerged from the expansion of the regional timber industry, a history still etched into the way the light catches the weathered wood of older buildings and the quiet, industrious posture of its streets. The economy remains tethered to the land, balancing the legacy of forestry with the rhythmic, seasonal pulse of local agriculture. Five miles to the east, the expansive surface of Bayou D'Arbonne Lake reflects the vast, open sky, providing a stillness that contrasts with the workday hum of saws and engines. Life in Bernice proceeds with a measured intensity, a place where the passage of time is measured not by the clock, but by the slow, steady growth of the forest and the changing colors of the fields that stretch toward the horizon.

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.
