How to Use This Broussard, Louisiana Map

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

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.

Broussard stretches across a flat, fertile expanse where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the occasional silhouette of distant trees. It lies 26.2 miles north-northeast of Opelousas, LA (from Opelousas, LA: bearing 18°T), and is situated 17.8 miles south-southeast of Marksville. Bayou Jack winds its way through the landscape, acting as a slow-moving artery that defines the local drainage and gives the soil its dark, moisture-rich character. To the northwest, the land rises subtly toward the elevation of Les Grandes Côtes, while the lower, more expansive Prairie Du Bayou Rouge stretches out in the opposite direction. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness during the long afternoons, catching the light in a way that turns the fields into shimmering gold before the sun dips below the level plains. A short distance away, the quiet reaches of the Farm Service Agency Interest Of La provide a sanctuary for wildlife, maintaining a sliver of the original wilderness that once dominated this interior territory.

Broussard maintains a steady, industrious pace rooted in a history of agrarian expansion and the steady rhythm of regional commerce. The local economy has shifted from the traditional reliance on vast fields of sugarcane and rice to a more diversified landscape of light manufacturing and retail, though the heritage of the land remains etched into the daily habits of the people. Visitors find a sense of continuity here, where the influence of French-speaking ancestors still flavors the local speech and social customs. While Boggy Lake lies far enough away to remain a quiet destination for those seeking solitude, the spirit of Broussard is anchored firmly in its central intersection of roads and its commitment to a communal, grounded way of life. The transition from the old agricultural foundations to modern growth occurs without erasing the deliberate, measured cadence that has defined the region for generations.
