Explore Kilbourne, 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 Kilbourne, 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 Kilbourne.
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.

Kilbourne anchors itself to the flat, fertile expanse of the northern Louisiana delta, where the earth holds the dark, heavy promise of a long growing season. It lies 57.7 miles northeast of Monroe, LA (from Monroe, LA: bearing 54°T), and is situated 15.9 miles north-northwest of Lake Providence. Tiger Bayou carves a slow, serpentine path through the landscape, its tea-colored waters reflecting the broad, vaulted sky and the shifting patterns of clouds that drift over the fields. Five miles to the west, the quiet surface of Gassoway Lake sits in stillness, a mirror for the towering pines and hardwoods that define the horizon. The air here carries a humid weight, thick with the scent of damp soil and the subtle, metallic tang of the bayou, particularly when the afternoon sun presses down on the open plains. In the soft light of dusk, the shadows lengthen across the furrows, turning the expanse into a study of deep greens and slate grays that seem to breathe in the cooling evening air.
Kilbourne emerged from the necessity of the land, growing from the steady labor of those who turned the rich, alluvial soil into rows of cotton, corn, and soybeans. This agricultural rhythm dictates the pace of life, a cycle measured by the planting and the harvest rather than the frantic ticking of a clock. Nine miles away, the Bayou Macon Wildlife Management Area offers a sanctuary of dense timber and tangled undergrowth, preserving a fragment of the wilder, untamed world that once dominated this region. The economy remains tethered to the bounty of the fields, and the people who call Kilbourne their own share a resilience forged by the unpredictability of the weather and the quiet demands of the earth. It is a place where the history is written not in grand monuments, but in the enduring lines of the fences and the steady, persistent growth of the crops that stretch toward the sun.

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.
