Explore Martin, 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 Martin, 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 Martin.
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.

Martin holds the humid weight of the lowlands where the Mississippi River carves a dark, silt-heavy path through the alluvial soil. It lies 24.0 miles south-southeast of Belle Chasse, LA (from Belle Chasse, LA: bearing 147°T), and is situated 32.5 miles southeast of New Orleans. This landscape feels defined by the constant, encroaching presence of water, as the proximity to Caquin Bay just one mile away saturates the air with a briny, persistent mist that clings to the cypress knees and tall, swaying marsh grasses. To the north, the terrain softens toward the quiet, still waters of Third Bay, while the horizon remains flat and expansive, broken only by the silhouettes of distant, salt-weathered structures. Light here possesses a thick, amber quality at dusk, turning the river into a ribbon of hammered copper that seems to hold the heat of the day long after the sun has slipped beneath the marshy rim of the earth.
Martin persists as a place where the rhythms of the land have dictated the pace of labor for generations, favoring the cultivation of sugarcane and rice in the fertile, damp earth. The economic pulse of the region remains tied to the water, echoing a history where the river served as the primary artery for trade and transit. Beyond the fields, the Division Of State Lands offers a sanctuary of unmanicured wildness, preserving the delicate transition between the solid ground and the encroaching tide. The cultural character remains a slow, layered blend of traditions, where the afternoon silence is occasionally punctuated by the distant, rhythmic hum of a passing barge on the Mississippi River. It is a locality that demands patience, rewarding the observer with the subtle beauty of a heron rising against a gray sky or the sudden, sharp scent of rain moving in from the direction of Drum Island.

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.
