Explore Junction, 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 Junction, 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 Junction.
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.

Junction emerges from the low, humid plains of western Louisiana as a quiet convergence of pine forest and flat, fertile soil. It lies 41.6 miles north-northwest of Moss Bluff, LA (from Moss Bluff, LA: bearing 333°T), and is situated 13.1 miles west of DeRidder. The horizon remains largely unbroken, save for the distant, hazy silhouette of Gunter Hill rising eighteen miles to the north, a reminder of the land’s subtle, tectonic patience. Trout Creek carves a narrow, serpentine path just two miles from the center, its tea-colored waters moving with a deliberate, sluggish grace through the tangled undergrowth. The air here holds a heavy, persistent moisture that seems to slow the progression of the afternoon, turning the golden light of dusk into a thick, syrupy amber that clings to the bark of towering longleaf pines. Four miles away, the Office Of Forestry Beauregard Nursery maintains a disciplined grid of seedlings, a testament to the region's enduring relationship with the timber that defines its borders.
History in Junction is written in the steady, rhythmic labor of the land rather than in grand monuments or stone markers. The local economy persists in the quiet tradition of silviculture and small-scale agriculture, where the daily cycle is dictated by the requirements of the soil and the seasonal cycles of the timber industry. Brushy Lake, located thirteen miles to the east, acts as a silent, inland anchor for the landscape, its stillness offering a contrast to the occasional hum of heavy machinery navigating the rural roads. Life in Junction possesses a peculiar, unvarnished integrity, where the vernacular of the deep interior—the slow drawl and the preference for shaded porches—shapes the social fabric more effectively than any formal governance. It is a place where the passage of time is measured not by clocks, but by the gradual heightening of the canopy and the persistent, humid breath of the Louisiana woods.

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.
