How to Use This Richmond, Louisiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Richmond, 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 Richmond.
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 Richmond, Louisiana
Richmond is a locality in Madison Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 511. The population density is 118.9 people per km². Richmond is located at 32.3879°N, 91.1821°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Richmond is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 71282.Richmond occupies a stretch of flat, fertile earth where the heavy, humid air of the humid subtropical climate settles low over the fields. It lies 17.9 miles west of Vicksburg, MS (from Vicksburg, MS: bearing 278°T), and is situated 1.4 miles south of Tallulah. The horizon is defined by the expansive, open plains that stretch toward the distant silhouette of Fort Hill, creating a landscape of muted greens and soft, clay-colored browns. Brushy Bayou winds through the outskirts, its slow-moving waters providing a constant, quiet moisture to the surrounding soil. During the long afternoons, the light takes on a thick, honeyed quality that lingers over the Richmond Sports Complex, where the quietude of the land is occasionally interrupted by the sounds of local recreation.
Agriculture remains the primary pulse of the local economy, with the legacy of plantation-era land use still visible in the orderly, expansive rows of crops that define the perimeter of Richmond. The proximity to The Basin influences the drainage and agricultural viability of the region, ensuring that the fields remain productive throughout the harvest cycle. Residents often look toward Texas Lake for a change in scenery, though the rhythm of life is dictated more by the cycles of the earth than by any singular landmark. This locality maintains a steady, deliberate pace, reflecting a history tied to the cultivation of the soil and the quiet persistence of those who have worked this ground for generations.

About This Richmond Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Richmond, Louisiana. Coordinates: 32.387922, -91.182055. 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 Richmond includes the ZIP code (71282), telephone area code (318), county seat of Madison Parish, and school district assignment (Madison 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.
