How to Use This Darrow, Louisiana Map

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

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 Darrow, Louisiana

Darrow is a locality in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 200. The population density is 373.0 people per km². Darrow is located at 30.1183°N, 90.9854°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 70725.

Darrow occupies a low, fertile expanse where the heavy, humid air clings to the skin like a damp linen sheet. It lies 9.2 miles south-southwest of Gonzales, LA (from Gonzales, LA: bearing 205°T), and is situated 1.3 miles north-northeast of Donaldsonville. The Mississippi River serves as the primary artery here, its long, brown current carving a silent, persistent path through the landscape while the horizon remains flat, punctuated only by the distant, hazy silhouette of Indian Mound. In the quiet hours before dusk, the light turns a bruised gold, casting long shadows across the fields and imbuing the stillness with a weight that suggests time itself has slowed to accommodate the slow growth of the crops. A traveler passing through might notice the proximity of Louisiana Square Park, a small patch of green that offers a respite from the sprawling, open intensity of the surrounding plains.

Darrow carries the quiet echoes of an agricultural lineage defined by the stubborn, sweet yield of sugarcane and the disciplined labor required to coax life from the soil. The economy remains tethered to these cycles, with the rhythm of the seasons dictate the pulse of the workday, far removed from the frantic pace of the larger world. While the Nita Crevasse stands nine miles away as a geological reminder of the land’s volatile shifts, the people of Darrow focus on the immediate, tangible work of the day. Life moves with a deliberate, unadorned quality, marked by the Creole and Cajun influences that linger in the local speech and the shared meals that anchor the neighborhood. Even as the modern world encroaches, the spirit of the place remains firmly rooted in the loam, content to exist in the shadow of the river and the vast, open sky.

About This Darrow Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Darrow, Louisiana. Coordinates: 30.118254, -90.985377. 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 Darrow includes the ZIP code (70725), telephone area code (985), county seat of Ascension Parish, and school district assignment (Ascension 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.
