Explore Delacroix, 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 Delacroix, 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 Delacroix.
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.

Delacroix rests upon a flat, expansive reach of inland prairie where the horizon stretches thin and pale against a heavy, humid sky. It lies 6.3 miles north-northwest of New Iberia, LA (from New Iberia, LA: bearing 333°T), and is situated 7.4 miles east of Youngsville. The landscape is defined by the slow, deliberate movement of moisture through the soil and the persistent growth of tall, wind-brushed grasses that bow in unison under the afternoon heat. Only a mile away, the Spanish Lake - Dried Lake Bed offers a stark, geological reminder of the shifting earth, its cracked surface holding the memory of water long since evaporated. Two miles to the west, the sluggish, dark ribbon of Bayou Teche winds through the fields, carving a quiet path that dictates the drainage and the slow, rhythmic pulse of the surrounding terrain.
Delacroix maintains a quiet existence rooted in the labor of the land, where the economy remains tethered to the cycles of agriculture and the cultivation of the fertile, dark earth. Over generations, the patterns of life have been shaped by the presence of Lake Peigneur, located nine miles distant, which exerts a subtle influence on the regional climate and the moisture that sustains the crops. The history of Delacroix is etched into the way the light catches the fields at dusk, turning the rows of vegetation into a shimmering, monochromatic landscape that seems to suspend time itself. Residents here exist in a deliberate, unhurried state, moving with a familiarity born of long tenure on this specific patch of ground, where the weight of the past is felt not in monuments, but in the enduring, steady work of the present day.

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.
