Explore Dulac, 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 Dulac, 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 Dulac.
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.

Dulac anchors the low-lying edge of the world where the solid earth dissolves into the brackish pulse of the Gulf. It lies 14.3 miles south of Houma, LA (from Houma, LA: bearing 179°T), and is situated 7.9 miles west-southwest of Chauvin. Bayou Grand Caillou cuts a deep, tea-colored vein directly through the landscape, dictating the movement of every skiff and shrimp boat that navigates the narrow channel. Beyond the docks, the terrain is a flat expanse of marsh grass and silt, where the air hangs heavy with the scent of brine and damp earth, and the light at dusk turns the water into a sheet of hammered pewter. Only a mile away, the quiet surface of Lake Gero mirrors the shifting clouds, providing a still sanctuary in a region defined by the constant, restless tide of the coast.
Generations of families in Dulac have tied their livelihoods to the harvest of the water, operating within a rhythm dictated by the season of the catch and the caprice of the weather. This economy of net and brine has fostered a culture of resilience, where the Cajun heritage remains as persistent as the humidity that clings to the cypress-lined banks. While the modern world keeps a distance, the proximity to the Division Of State Lands ensures that the surrounding wild remains a rugged, untamed neighbor. Far removed from the elevation of Hatch Point, life here moves with the deliberate, unforced pace of a tide coming in, characterized by the hum of outboard motors and the quiet industry of those who have long understood how to live where the land finally gives way to the sea.

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.
