Explore Hackberry, 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 Hackberry, 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 Hackberry.
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.

Hackberry sits low against the horizon, a narrow reach of land defined by the restless, deep-water presence of the Calcasieu Ship Channel that shears through the marsh. It lies 16.8 miles south of Sulphur, LA (from Sulphur, LA: bearing 173°T), and is situated 17.6 miles south-southwest of Lake Charles. The air here holds a heavy, salt-edged humidity, thick with the scent of brine and the rhythmic pulse of tides shifting against the reeds. Only a mile away, the expansive, glass-still surface of Calcasieu Lake mirrors the shifting moods of the sky, turning from a pale, bruised silver at dawn to a deep, impenetrable indigo as the sun retreats. Beyond the immediate reach of the channel, the terrain flattens into an endless expanse of wetlands where the horizon line blurs, and the light at dusk settles in long, amber slats across the water, illuminating the isolation of the landscape.
Hackberry bears the marks of a working life tethered to the water, where the economy has long been shaped by the industry of the channel and the enduring bounty of the coast. Men have historically looked to the maritime trades and the extraction of resources, drawing a livelihood from the depths that define the perimeter of their lives. Four miles to the east, the protected reaches of the Division Of State Lands offer a quiet refuge for wildlife, standing in contrast to the steady, industrial hum of the nearby shipping lanes. Further out, the distant silhouette of Vincent Island reminds the observer of the shifting, fluid nature of this coastal geography, where the land is as much a suggestion as it is a solid fact. Life in Hackberry persists with a deliberate, singular focus, moving in cadence with the tides and the heavy, slow-turning seasons of the Gulf.

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.
