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 emerges from the verdant, pine-heavy landscape of central Louisiana, defined by the persistent, winding presence of Perkins Creek as it carves a path through the soft earth. It lies 19.3 miles south-southwest of Alexandria, LA (from Alexandria, LA: bearing 195°T), and is situated 7.5 miles south-southwest of Woodworth. The air here holds a heavy, humid stillness, often thick with the scent of damp needles and the earthy musk of the surrounding woodlands. Beyond the immediate tree line, the terrain shifts into the expansive, protected reaches of Kisatchie National Forest, where the canopy creates a dim, cathedral-like quietude that persists even at midday. Just a few miles away, the water of Indian Creek Reservoir mirrors the shifting amber light of the late afternoon, serving as a tranquil interruption to the deep green density of the timberland. While McNutt Hill remains a distant, hazy silhouette against the horizon, the immediate ground around Forest Hill feels grounded and ancient, anchored by the slow, deliberate growth of the pines and the steady movement of the creek bed.

Forest Hill maintains a distinctive identity rooted in a long-standing horticultural legacy, earning a reputation as a center for the nursery industry that shapes the rhythm of the local economy. Rows of vibrant, meticulously cultivated shrubs and ornamental trees stretch across the fields, creating a patchwork of color that stands in stark contrast to the wilder, pine-dominated corridors of the nearby Alexander State Forest. The collective labor of generations has transformed the soil into a productive engine, with the trade of saplings and landscaping stock serving as the primary pulse of the local commerce. Daily life in Forest Hill follows a measured, seasonal tempo, dictated by the planting cycles and the quiet maintenance of the nursery grounds. This is a place where the work is quiet and tactile, marked by the steady hands of those who have spent decades coaxing life from the dirt, ensuring that the character of the locality remains tied to the deliberate, patient cultivation of the land.
