How to Use This Collinston, Louisiana Map

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

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.

Collinston emerges from the flat, alluvial silts of northern Louisiana, a place defined by the heavy, humid stillness that settles over the fields long before the sun retreats. It lies 19.1 miles northeast of Monroe, LA (from Monroe, LA: bearing 49°T), and is situated 4.5 miles south of Bastrop. The horizon here is vast and unencumbered, interrupted only by the distant, hazy suggestion of Potato Patch Ridge, which marks the edge of the world for those who work the soil. To the north, the landscape yields to the damp, quiet presence of Patten Slough, a waterway that veins through the vegetation with a slow, deliberate purpose. The light in Collinston possesses a distinct, syrupy quality during the golden hour, turning the dust kicked up by passing trucks into a haze of amber that lingers over the timber and the sprawling, quiet acreage of Swan Lakebed.

Agriculture dictates the pulse of the days in Collinston, where the economy remains tethered to the cycles of planting and harvest that have defined the region for generations. History here is kept in the quiet maintenance of fence lines and the weathered architecture of buildings that have survived the relentless, damp heat of countless summers. Residents often find their respite at Ralph George Park, a space that offers a necessary pause from the labor of the surrounding countryside, while the deeper stillness of Tisdale Brake provides a sanctuary for those seeking the quiet solitude of the wetlands. Life in Collinston moves with a measured, intentional gravity, reflecting a culture that values the endurance of the land and the simple, persistent rhythm of a life lived close to the earth.
