How to Use This Crescent, Louisiana Map

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

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 Crescent, Louisiana

Crescent is a locality in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 811. The population density is 188.0 people per km². Crescent is located at 30.2432°N, 91.2882°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP codes: 70360, 70764.

Crescent sits where the dark, silt-heavy waters of Little Bayou Black carve a winding path through the flat, low-slung earth of the coastal plain. It lies 2.5 miles west-southwest of Bayou Cane, LA (from Bayou Cane, LA: bearing 254°T), and is situated 4.5 miles west-northwest of Houma. The landscape here is a study in horizontal lines, where the sky presses close to the horizon and the air holds a permanent, heavy moisture that softens the edges of every cypress tree and fence line. Five miles to the south, the tides of Bayou Terrebonne dictate the pulse of the marshes, pulling the salt air inland until it mingles with the scent of damp soil and decaying vegetation. Beyond the immediate reach of the bayou, the land stretches out in a flat expanse that finds its only relief in the distance toward Hatch Point, while the nearby waters of Lake Hatch mirror the bruised purple light of an approaching evening storm.

Crescent bears the marks of a slow, deliberate history, carved out by those who learned to harvest a living from the stubborn, water-logged soil and the intricate network of surrounding waterways. The economy remains tethered to the rhythm of the seasons and the land, with the long, emerald stalks of sugarcane swaying in the fields, a reminder of the labor that has defined this geography for generations. Local life often centers on the simple utility of the land, whether it is the maintenance of the fields or the quiet afternoons spent at Westside Girls Complex & Park, where the community gathers under the wide, unencumbered sky. Life in Crescent moves with the cadence of the water, a quiet persistence that ignores the frantic pace of the modern world in favor of the steady, inevitable turn of the tide.
