Explore Pleasant Hill, 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 Pleasant Hill, 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 Pleasant Hill.
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.

Pleasant Hill rises from the pine-studded earth as a quiet testament to the enduring character of the inland Louisiana landscape. It lies 6.2 miles west-southwest of Ruston, LA (from Ruston, LA: bearing 243°T), and is situated 3.3 miles south-southwest of Grambling. The terrain here is defined by modest elevations and dense woodlands, where the sunlight filters through the canopy to dapple the forest floor in shades of ochre and deep emerald. Redwine Creek winds through the low-lying sections of the parish, its steady, dark current carving a path through the silt and clay that form the foundation of the region. Ten miles to the north, the silhouette of Buckenham Hill marks the horizon, a subtle reminder of the geological shifts that have shaped this terrain over eons. The air holds a persistent, heavy warmth, carrying the scent of damp soil and pine needles that lingers long after the sun has retreated behind the trees.
Pleasant Hill maintains a rhythm of life that honors its agricultural roots, where the labor of the day is measured by the slow turn of the seasons rather than the frantic pace of distant urban centers. Local industry remains tied to the land, reflecting a heritage built upon forestry and the cultivation of the surrounding fields. While the stillness of the countryside dominates, the Baseball Field provides a singular point of communal engagement, serving as a social anchor for those who gather under the expansive, cloud-streaked sky. Residents often look toward the distant waters of Lake Foursome, twelve miles away, as a place of respite from the heat, though the true essence of the locality is found in the everyday persistence of its people. Time here possesses a weight of its own, moving with a deliberate, unhurried grace that defines the character of those who call these woods home.

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.
