How to Use This Marrero, Louisiana Map

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

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.

Marrero stretches across a flat, humid expanse of southern Louisiana where the air holds the heavy, sweet scent of damp earth and slow-moving water. It lies 1.4 miles west-southwest of Harvey, LA (from Harvey, LA: bearing 258°T), and is situated 4.1 miles south-southwest of New Orleans. The landscape remains defined by the persistent presence of the Mississippi River, which flows only one mile away and shapes the low-lying terrain. To the west, the waters of Lake Cataouatche provide a quiet, reflective space, while the natural depression known as Bell Crevasse sits a mere mile from the center of activity. The horizon is often a hazy, pale gray, meeting a sky that feels vast and unencumbered by elevation. Even the distant, brine-touched winds from Big Mar, lying eleven miles off, seem to drift through the neighborhood with a subtle, salt-tinged promise of the coast.

Marrero carries the weight of a history rooted in the labor of the land and the steady rhythm of industrial work. Early settlement patterns followed the fertile soil, fostering an economy that long relied on the bounty of the fields and the accessibility of the nearby waterways. Today, the local industry continues to thrive through a mix of maritime support, trade, and the service sectors that sustain the families living here. The proximity to the Mississippi River remains a vital artery, allowing goods to move with the same deliberate pace that the locals have adopted over generations. While the physical landscape has evolved to meet modern demands, the foundational reliance on the region's natural resources remains evident in the daily grind of the docks and the bustling trade centers.

Marrero fosters a cultural character that is deeply layered, reflecting the quiet resilience of those who make their lives in the shadow of the levees. Residents often gather for leisure at Jacob Playground, a local space that anchors the neighborhood and provides a necessary break from the intense summer heat. The community spirit here is unpretentious, seen in the way neighbors acknowledge one another with a nod or a brief conversation as the long, golden light of dusk settles over the streets. Among those who have emerged from this environment is the professional football player Steve Foley, who carried the discipline learned in these parts to a wider stage. Life here moves with a lyrical, loosened sense of time, where the slow crawl of the seasons is measured by the changing humidity and the persistent, circling presence of the birds overhead.

About This Marrero Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Marrero, Louisiana. Coordinates: 29.885726, -90.113221. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Marrero includes the ZIP code (70072, 70073), telephone area code (504), county seat of Jefferson Parish, and school district assignment (Jefferson Parish School District).

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.
