How to Use This Grand Point, Louisiana Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Grand Point, 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 Grand Point.

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 Grand Point, Louisiana

Grand Point is a locality in St. James Parish, Louisiana, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,241. The population density is 201.6 people per km². Grand Point is located at 30.0472°N, 90.7501°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 70763.

Grand Point unfolds across a flat, alluvial expanse where the horizon remains wide and unobstructed, defined by the heavy, humid stillness of the lowlands. It lies 15.8 miles southeast of Gonzales, LA (from Gonzales, LA: bearing 141°T), and is situated 3.6 miles west-northwest of Lutcher. The landscape here is characterized by the encroaching presence of the Maurepas Swamp Wildlife Management Area, which blankets the periphery in a dense, tangled vitality of cypress and tupelo. Only one mile away, the dark, slow-moving waters of Tchackehou Bayou carve a quiet path through the sediment, while the subtle indentation of the Belmont Crevasse four miles distant hints at the ancient, shifting hydrology of the region. The light at dusk settles over the fields with a syrupy, amber weight, turning the humid air into a translucent veil that softens the edges of the distant, flat horizon.

Grand Point maintains an economy rooted in the deep, fertile soil, where the rhythmic cycles of sugarcane cultivation dictate the pace of the calendar and the character of the laborers. The cultural legacy of the region persists in the vernacular and the persistent, slow-burning heat that defines the long afternoons, echoing a history of settlement that values resilience over haste. Residents look toward the distant waters of Lac des Allemands, eleven miles away, as a primary landmark of the local geography, while the proximity of the swamp ensures that the natural world remains a constant, encroaching neighbor. In the quiet intervals between the mechanical hum of agricultural machinery, one might hear the faint, singular persistence of the local environment, a place where time seems to pool and stagnate in the most deliberate and observant of ways.
