How to Use This Gilbert, Louisiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Gilbert, 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 Gilbert.
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.

About Gilbert, Louisiana

Gilbert is located at 32.0493°N, 91.6582°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Gilbert is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 71336.Gilbert spreads across the flat, sun-drenched plains of northern Franklin Parish, defined by the steady, quiet passage of Deer Creek as it carves a path through the alluvial earth. It lies 41.7 miles southeast of Monroe, LA (from Monroe, LA: bearing 140°T), and is situated 8.7 miles south-southeast of Winnsboro. The horizon remains wide and unobstructed, save for the distant, faint silhouette of Independent Ridge that anchors the far western view. Beyond the immediate fields, the landscape is punctuated by the stillness of Turkey Creek Lake, where the water mirrors a sky that shifts from a pale, hazy blue to the deep, bruised oranges of late afternoon. Six miles away, the Lsu Research Station serves as a sentinel of the region’s agricultural dedication, while eleven miles to the west, the expansive, fertile basin of Boeuf Prairie suggests the immense scale of the surrounding countryside.
Gilbert functions as a quiet intersection of agrarian life, where the economy is tethered to the rhythmic cycles of planting and harvest that have long defined the character of the soil. The architecture here favors utility and resilience, with weathered wooden structures and modest brick facades standing against the heavy, humid heat of the summer months. Families maintain a connection to the land that is older than the modern grid, moving with a deliberate pace that ignores the frantic acceleration of larger urban centers. In the evenings, when the air finally cools, the sound of insects rises from the tall grasses near the creek, signaling a return to the long-standing, predictable tempo that keeps Gilbert firmly rooted in its place.

About This Gilbert Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Gilbert, Louisiana. Coordinates: 32.049323, -91.65818. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Gilbert includes the ZIP code (71336), telephone area code (318), county seat of Franklin Parish, and school district assignment (Franklin Parish School District).
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.
