Explore Calhoun, 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 Calhoun, 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 Calhoun.
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.

Calhoun stretches across a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of red clay and the dense, encroaching shadows of pine thickets. It lies 9.7 miles west of Claiborne, LA (from Claiborne, LA: bearing 269°T), and is situated 13.9 miles west of Monroe. The land here does not rise in dramatic peaks, though the distant silhouette of Snake Ridge occasionally haunts the horizon on the clearest of afternoons. Moisture gathers in the low-lying hollows where Curry Creek carves a winding, muddy path through the undergrowth, its movement sluggish and rhythmic as it navigates the terrain. A few miles to the north, the water of Mills Pond holds the sky in a flat, reflective stillness, untouched by the frantic pace of larger hubs. The air here holds a heavy, humid weight, carrying the scent of damp earth and cooling needles as the sun begins to bleed its final light across the fields.
Calhoun anchors its identity in the steady, agrarian labor that has long shaped the surrounding soil, a legacy that finds a modern anchor at the Lsu Research Station. This local facility serves as a focal point for the region, grounding the economy in the patient study of botany and agricultural science rather than the volatile industries of the city. Life in Calhoun moves according to the turning of the seasons, where the primary concerns remain the health of the crops and the maintenance of the homesteads that dot the winding backroads. There is a distinct, unhurried quality to the afternoons, a sense that history is not something kept in books, but something lived in the repetition of chores and the quiet conversations held on porches as the evening heat begins to break.

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.
