Explore Centerville, 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 Centerville, 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 Centerville.
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.

Centerville unfolds along the banks of the Bayou Teche, where the slow, dark current carves a path through the low-lying coastal plain. It lies 13.9 miles west-northwest of Morgan City, LA (from Morgan City, LA: bearing 287°T), and is situated 5.1 miles east-southeast of Franklin. The landscape here is defined by the heavy, humid stillness of the lowlands, where the Bayou Teche National Wildlife Refuge stretches out in a mosaic of swamp and bottomland hardwood forest. To the south, the flat horizon hints at the Gulf of Mexico, just eleven miles distant, while the presence of Gray Horse Isle breaks the monotonous expanse of the marshy terrain. The light in the late afternoon possesses a thick, amber quality that clings to the moss-draped cypress trees, casting long, bruised shadows across the water and turning the sky into a bruised plum color as the day retreats.
Centerville persists as a quiet node of labor and heritage, rooted in the expansive sugarcane fields that have long governed the local economy. The rhythms of the harvest dictate the pace of life, a cycle as old as the settlement itself, punctuated by the seasonal machinery that hums beneath the canopy. Beyond the agriculture, the proximity to Wax Lake and the intricate network of waterways continue to shape the character of those who live here, drawing a line of continuity from the early settlers to the present. There is a particular, unforced dignity in the way the architecture clings to the earth, a collection of structures that seem to absorb the dampness of the air and the weight of the years, standing as markers of a life lived in careful negotiation with the surrounding water.

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.
