How to Use This Forest Hill, Louisiana Map

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

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.

Forest Hill occupies a quiet expanse of humid, fertile earth where the North Branch Ward Creek carves a slow, deliberate path through the dense thickets of pine and hardwood. It lies 4.3 miles southeast of Baton Rouge, LA (from Baton Rouge, LA: bearing 124°T), and is situated 5.7 miles west of Shenandoah. The landscape here favors the patient observer, defined by a heavy, sun-drenched atmosphere that clings to the low-lying fields and the dense foliage of the Lsu Research Station. At dusk, the light loses its sharpness, turning the horizon into a muted palette of amber and deep violet that settles over the flat, agrarian terrain. The air remains thick with the scent of damp soil and growing things, a physical presence that seems to slow the pulse of the day, grounding the spirit in the steady, rhythmic cycle of the earth.

Forest Hill maintains a singular identity rooted in its deep connection to the nursery industry, where rows of ornamental trees and flowering shrubs define the local economy and the visual character of the countryside. This horticultural tradition has shaped the daily habits of the residents, who move with the measured pace of those who tend to long-term growth rather than immediate harvest. While the distant silhouette of Indian Mound provides a faint, static anchor to the geography, the immediate life of the place unfolds in the quiet maintenance of greenhouses and the cultivation of the land. It is a place where the passage of time is measured not by sudden changes, but by the subtle, seasonal shifts in the nursery rows and the occasional, gentle rise of the water in the nearby channels.
