How to Use This Catahoula, Louisiana Map

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

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 Catahoula, Louisiana

Catahoula is a locality in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 988. The population density is 124.6 people per km². Catahoula is located at 30.2120°N, 91.7196°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 70582.

Catahoula remains defined by the slow, deliberate movement of the Catahoula Coulee as it carves a path through the flat, heavy earth of the region. It lies 15.8 miles east-northeast of Broussard, LA (from Broussard, LA: bearing 73°T), and is situated 9.7 miles northeast of St. Martinville. The landscape here is a study in persistence, where the horizon stretches wide and low across open plains that hold the humidity like a damp woolen blanket. Catahoula Lake acts as the silent anchor of the terrain, its basin gathering the silver light of dawn and reflecting the deep, bruised purples of a gathering thunderstorm. Five miles away, the protected expanse of the Division Of State Lands offers a quiet sanctuary of tall grasses and scrub, while seven miles distant, the subtle depression of the Cypremort Crevasse marks the ancient, shifting memory of the soil. The quality of light in the late afternoon is thick and golden, catching the dust motes that dance above the fields and turning the very air into something that feels substantial, heavy with the scent of damp loam and cooling vegetation.

Catahoula carries the weight of a long agricultural lineage, its character forged in the cycles of harvest and the patient labor of those who work the inland dirt. The local economy relies on the steady rhythm of the land, with rice and sugarcane fields dominating the view, their emerald stalks turning to a tawny bronze under the relentless sun. History here is kept in the quiet habits of the residents and the weathered wood of structures that have stood against the humidity for generations. Life moves with a gravity that favors the slow conversation on a porch over the frantic pace of distant centers, and the culture reflects a blending of traditions that have settled into the marrow of the place. It is a world where time is measured not by the clock, but by the gradual change in the color of the grasses and the seasonal migration of birds across the stillness of the lake.
