Explore Coushatta, 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 Coushatta, 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 Coushatta.
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.

Coushatta occupies a quiet expanse of the Red River valley, where the land stretches out in wide, alluvial flats punctuated by the occasional rise of higher ground like Couchanda Hill. It lies 23.1 miles northwest of Natchitoches, LA (from Natchitoches, LA: bearing 320°T), and is situated 21.0 miles east of Mansfield. Moisture hangs heavy in the air, a thick humidity that seems to slow the progression of the sun as it casts long, amber shadows across the fields. Five miles to the east, the stillness of Grassy Lake offers a mirror for the towering pines and hardwoods, while the Red River flows just a mile away, its silt-laden currents cutting a deliberate path through the landscape. This is an interior world, far removed from the brine and restlessness of the coast, defined instead by the deep, quiet cycles of the inland earth.
Coushatta traces its lineage through layers of agricultural labor and the steady, persistent industry of the surrounding parishes. The economy remains tethered to the productivity of the soil, with the seasons dictating the rhythm of life in a way that feels ancient and unyielding. Residents often look toward the Red River National Wildlife Refuge, nine miles away, as a reminder of the wilder, untamed character that once dominated these reaches before the town solidified its place on the map. Life here moves with a particular gravity, shaped by the local traditions and a history that favors the endurance of the individual over the flash of modern expansion. It is a place where the light at dusk settles with a heavy, golden permanence, catching the dust of the road and the quiet industry of a day drawing to a close.

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.
