How to Use This Brownsville, Louisiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Brownsville, 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 Brownsville.
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.

About Brownsville, Louisiana
Brownsville is a locality in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,353. The population density is 483.7 people per km². Brownsville is located at 32.4871°N, 92.1543°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 71292.Brownsville exists as a quiet accumulation of earth and memory, defined largely by the persistent, sluggish passage of Judy Slough that cuts a vein through the surrounding lowlands. It lies 2.2 miles south of West Monroe, LA (from West Monroe, LA: bearing 190°T), and is situated 2.6 miles southwest of Monroe. The horizon remains flat and expansive, save for the distant, hazy suggestion of Snake Ridge that haunts the western sky like a forgotten thought. Only two miles away, Pucketts Lake gathers the amber light of late afternoon, its surface mirroring the heavy, humid air that clings to the cypress knees and tall grasses. At Lazarre Park, the land opens into a sanctuary of stillness where the soil holds the dampness of the interior plains, a stark contrast to the distant, unseen geography of the continent’s edges.
Brownsville maintains a rhythm dictated by the seasons of the fields, where the economy remains tethered to the slow cultivation of the surrounding acreage. History here is not written in grand monuments but in the persistent labor of those who work the sediment-rich earth, keeping a pace that refuses to be hurried by the clamor of the modern world. Ten miles to the east, The Basin acts as a silent reservoir for the region’s drainage, influencing the way the water moves and the way the shadows lengthen over the town as evening settles. Life in Brownsville is marked by the particular, muted quality of the light, which turns the local landscape into a study of soft browns and deep greens, grounding every inhabitant in the quiet, enduring reality of the inland plains.

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.
