How to Use This Olla, Louisiana Map

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

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.

Olla occupies a quiet reach of earth where the pine woods soften into the low, humid light of the central Louisiana interior. It lies 41.7 miles north-northeast of Pineville, LA (from Pineville, LA: bearing 16°T), and is situated 16.5 miles north-northwest of Jena. Sandy Creek winds through the undergrowth just a mile from the center, its water moving with a slow, dark deliberation that reflects the heavy canopy overhead. The terrain here rises in subtle, wooded swells toward Mountain Hill, which marks the horizon ten miles distant like a blunt, earthen thumb against the sky. Even in the height of summer, the air holds a stillness that suggests time pools in the hollows between the trees, lingering long after the sun has dipped below the pines.

Olla traces its rhythm to the timber and oil industries that have long defined the labor of the region, grounding the days in the steady pulse of extraction and transport. Residents find respite in the simple, open spaces of the Hwy 165 Roadside Park, a modest stretch of greenery that serves as a waypoint for those passing through the vast inland silence. Far from the reach of any coastline, the life of the place is tethered to the land, far removed from the bustle of the delta. Those who linger might venture eighteen miles to the quiet banks of Brown Lake, where the water mirrors the shifting gray and amber tones of the afternoon, confirming that Olla remains a place defined by its own internal gravity and the enduring character of its woods.

About This Olla Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Olla, Louisiana. Coordinates: 31.902942, -92.243194. 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 Olla includes the ZIP code (71465), telephone area code (318), county seat of LaSalle Parish, and school district assignment (La Salle 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.
