How to Use This Clarence, Louisiana Map

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

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.

Clarence occupies a low, quiet expanse of the Louisiana interior where the heavy, humid air seems to slow the very movement of the light. It lies 5.4 miles northeast of Natchitoches, LA (from Natchitoches, LA: bearing 38°T), and is situated 34.3 miles south-southwest of Jonesboro. Bayou Piroque carves a narrow, dark channel through the terrain just a mile away, its presence marked by the thick, tangled silhouettes of cypress and the stillness of standing water. To the west, the horizon remains flat and expansive, though the distant, hazy suggestion of Mossy Ridge occasionally anchors the view against the pale, bleached sky. Two miles from the center, the quiet surface of Black Lake mirrors the shifting clouds, providing a cool, reflective contrast to the dense vegetation that defines the surrounding Northwest Louisiana Game And Fish Preserve/clear Lake. The land here holds a certain gravity, a sense of deep, settled patience that persists even when the shadows stretch thin across the fields.

Clarence preserves the remnants of an economy built on the slow, rhythmic labor of the soil and the iron veins of the railroad that once gave the place its primary pulse. The legacy of these tracks remains etched into the local character, a quiet reminder of an era when the movement of timber and crops dictated the pace of every day. Life here follows the arc of the seasons, far removed from the bustle of the coast, finding its own cadence in the proximity of The Crevasse and the winding paths of the Dogwood Trail, which offers a rare, shaded perspective on the local flora. Residents often move with a deliberate, unhurried gait, reflecting a culture that has learned to accommodate the heat and the persistent, damp gravity of the lowlands. In the late afternoon, when the sun dips low and the insects begin their steady, rhythmic chorus, the collective focus of Clarence seems to dissolve into the deepening twilight of the woods.

About This Clarence Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Clarence, Louisiana. Coordinates: 31.821552, -93.029606. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Clarence includes the ZIP code (71414, 71457), telephone area code (318), county seat of Natchitoches Parish, and school district assignment (Natchitoches Parish School District).

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.
