How to Use This Kentwood, Louisiana Map

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

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.

Kentwood marks a subtle transition where the flat plains of the deep South begin to yield to the gentle, pine-studded rises of the interior. It lies 30.1 miles north of Hammond, LA (from Hammond, LA: bearing 355°T), and is situated 14.2 miles north of Amite City. The landscape surrounding Kentwood breathes with a heavy, humid stillness, defined by the slow transit of Cool Creek just a mile away and the presence of the Tangipahoa River nearby, which carves a lush, shaded corridor through the dense woodland. To the north, the elevation shifts toward the distant prominence of Bogue Chitto Mountain, while the terrain closer to the center dips into the quiet, low-lying expanse of Chubby Bottom. Here, the light at dusk takes on a bruised, amber quality, filtering through the needles of loblolly pines to cast long, thin shadows across the earth that seem to hold the heat of the afternoon long after the sun has slipped away.

Agriculture and the steady industry of the timber trade have long dictated the pace of life in Kentwood, anchoring its inhabitants to the cycles of the soil and the forest. The economy remains tethered to these traditional roots, where the legacy of the dairy industry lingers in the character of the surrounding acreage, creating a rhythm of labor that values endurance over haste. While Lake Tangipahoa rests sixteen miles away as a destination for those seeking the stillness of open water, the daily life of the population remains focused on the immediate, practical concerns of the parish. It is a place where history is measured in the growth of the timber and the seasonal clearing of the fields, maintaining a deliberate, grounded existence that feels entirely removed from the frantic energy of the coast, favoring instead the quiet conversation of neighbors beneath a vast, indifferent sky.
