How to Use This DeRidder, Louisiana Map

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

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.

DeRidder emerges from the pine-scented flatlands of southwestern Louisiana as a quiet intersection of land and legacy. It lies 38.0 miles north of Moss Bluff, LA (from Moss Bluff, LA: bearing 351°T), and is situated 14.7 miles south-southwest of Fort Polk South. Beyond the reach of any saltwater influence, the terrain is defined by soft, earthen contours and the persistent growth of timber that has long dictated the rhythm of local development. Hickory Branch flows gently just a mile from the center, providing a modest, steady vein of water through the surrounding woods. To the north, the landscape rises toward the distant, subtle elevation of Gunter Hill, which marks the horizon twenty-four miles away. Residents often gather near Bundick Lake, located eleven miles out, to witness the way the late afternoon light turns the water into a sheet of hammered copper.

Timber harvesting and the subsequent processing of forest products have traditionally provided the structural backbone for the economy of DeRidder. Early settlers recognized the value of the vast longleaf pine forests, establishing industries that transitioned from raw logging to the complex manufacturing of paper and wood-based goods. This industrial heritage remains visible in the way the local economy balances traditional labor with modern logistical services. The daily pace in DeRidder reflects a history of hard work, where the shifting colors of the pine needles mark the passing of seasons more distinctly than the calendar. While the landscape has been shaped by these extractive industries, the town maintains a persistent, steady focus on self-reliance.

Cultural identity in DeRidder is rooted in a blend of regional traditions that favor neighborly connection and a respect for the land. West Park provides a local space for quiet recreation, serving as a social focal point where the humidity often carries the scent of damp earth and blooming jasmine. The historic Gothic Jail stands as a curious, enduring landmark, its unique architecture drawing those interested in the peculiar remnants of a bygone legal era. Among those who have emerged from this environment is the notable musician and songwriter Lucinda Williams, whose early formative years were spent in this corner of the state. Life in DeRidder moves with a deliberate gravity, anchored by community gatherings and the quiet persistence of individuals who value the stability of the soil beneath their feet.
