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 holds its position upon the quiet, expansive plains of southern Louisiana, where the horizon stretches wide under a heavy, humid sky. It lies 3.7 miles north-northeast of Youngsville, LA (from Youngsville, LA: bearing 28°T), and is situated 6.4 miles south-southeast of Lafayette. The land remains flat and fertile, defined by the slow movement of the Coulee des Poches as it winds through the countryside just two miles away. Arceneaux Park provides a central green space for residents, offering a quiet refuge where the afternoon light often turns a deep, honeyed gold against the trees. Six miles to the west, the waters of Lake la Pointe reflect the shifting clouds, grounding the landscape in a stillness that feels ancient. These inland stretches of earth offer a rhythm dictated by the seasons rather than the tides, maintaining a steady, earthen composure throughout the year.

Broussard traces its origins to the labor of early settlers who recognized the potential of this rich, dark soil for agriculture and development. The local economy has evolved from its agrarian foundations into a diverse network of industry, supporting businesses that range from specialized manufacturing to modern professional services. Fields of sugarcane and rice once defined the perimeter of the settlement, and remnants of this agricultural history still influence the character of the surrounding acreage. As the town expanded, its economic focus shifted to meet the demands of a changing workforce while retaining the industrious spirit of its founders. Today, Broussard functions as a vital corridor for commerce, balancing the quiet persistence of its past with the practical demands of its present.

Broussard fosters a cultural identity that draws deeply from the layered Cajun and Creole traditions that define the wider region. Life here moves with an unhurried grace, often marked by the sounds of zydeco music drifting from local gatherings or the quiet, shared observance of community events. Notable landmarks and preserved spaces provide a physical connection to the past, while the residents continue to shape the character of their neighborhood through active participation in local life. While the area is modest in its presentation, it has served as an origin for individuals like the professional football player Eric Alexander, who brought recognition to the local athletic spirit. Whether through the seasonal festivals that bring neighbors together or the simple habit of quiet conversation, Broussard maintains an authentic, grounded sense of place.
