How to Use This Paulina, Louisiana Map

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

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.

About Paulina, Louisiana

Paulina is a locality in St. James Parish, Louisiana, United States. It has a population of approximately 1,778. The population density is 148.7 people per km². Paulina is located at 30.0370°N, 90.7220°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 70763.

Paulina stretches across the flat, fertile earth where the Mississippi River carves a slow, deliberate path through the alluvial soil. It lies 14.2 miles west of Laplace, LA (from Laplace, LA: bearing 259°T), and is situated 9.8 miles west of Reserve. The landscape remains defined by this heavy, brown current, which pulls the gaze toward the horizon where the sun often bleeds into a humid, golden haze. To the north, the land remains largely level, interrupted only by the subtle depressions of the Belmont Crevasse, while the nearby Paulina Park offers a quiet expanse of green where the stillness of the afternoon gathers. The air holds a persistent, languid warmth, carrying the scent of damp earth and the distant, sweet musk of growing cane that seems to hold the light long after the day begins to fade.

Paulina maintains a character shaped by the steady, rhythmic demands of the sugarcane fields that have long dominated the regional economy. The legacy of the land is etched into the patterns of the local life, where the slow passage of time is measured by the harvest and the persistent, quiet growth of the surrounding acreage. Beyond the fields, the influence of Lac des Allemands lingers in the local lore, a reminder of the vast, quiet water that sits just seven miles away, shaping the ecology of the basin. Life in Paulina moves with a deliberate grace, reflecting a culture where the traditions of the river and the labor of the soil remain the primary currents of human activity, grounding the people in a history that is as deep and enduring as the silted bed of the river itself.

About This Paulina Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Paulina, Louisiana. Coordinates: 30.036972, -90.722028. 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 Paulina includes the ZIP code (70763), telephone area code (985), county seat of St. James Parish, and school district assignment (St. James 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.
