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 occupies a quiet stretch of land where the Jims River carves a sluggish, persistent path through the red clay and deep-rooted timber. It lies 20.6 miles northwest of Natchitoches, LA (from Natchitoches, LA: bearing 304°T), and is situated 20.4 miles east-southeast of Mansfield. The landscape surrounding Pleasant Hill is defined by these inland woodlands and the subtle, rhythmic shifts in elevation that rise toward the modest prominence of King Hill five miles away. Humidity often clings to the dense canopy of pine and hardwood, softening the sharp edges of the afternoon light until the air feels thick and weighted with the scent of damp earth. Only three miles distant, Grassy Lake remains a still, reflective presence, its surface undisturbed by the frantic pace of larger, more accessible waters, serving instead as a mirror for the shifting clouds and the slow progression of the seasons.
Traces of the past persist in the timber-rich soil and the remnants of an economy long anchored to the land and its resources. Life in Pleasant Hill follows a cadence set by the harvest and the steady, unpretentious industry of the region, far removed from the hurried tempo of metropolitan life. Residents look toward the Red River National Wildlife Refuge ten miles to the north as a sanctuary of managed wilderness, a stark contrast to the cleared fields and working tracks that define the human footprint here. When the sun dips low toward the Old Spanish Lake Lowlands to the west, the long shadows accentuate the quietude of a place that prefers to keep its history in the grain of its wood and the persistence of its local families, moving forward with a measured, deliberate grace.

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.
