How to Use This Roanoke, Louisiana Map

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

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 Roanoke, Louisiana

Roanoke is a locality in Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is a small community with a population of 491. The population density is 442.9 people per km². Roanoke is located at 30.2369°N, 92.7471°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 70581.

Roanoke anchors itself firmly within a flat, expansive prairie landscape where the horizon stretches wide and unobstructed under a vast, shifting sky. It lies 22.3 miles west of Crowley, LA (from Crowley, LA: bearing 274°T), and is situated 5.5 miles west of Jennings. The earth here is defined by its deep, fertile soil, punctuated by the quiet, deliberate presence of West Bayou Grand Marais, which winds through the terrain two miles away to sustain the moisture of the fields. During the late afternoon, the sunlight catches the dust motes and the emerald blades of grass, turning the entire plain into a glowing expanse of muted gold and deep bronze. While the landscape lacks the dramatic verticality of Onion Hill, which sits twenty-one miles distant, the land possesses a subtle, rhythmic grace that rewards the patient observer.

Agriculture serves as the backbone of the economy in Roanoke, where the cycles of planting and harvest dictate the pace of daily existence. The fields are often given over to the cultivation of rice, a crop that defines the local character as much as the quiet industry of the inhabitants. Life moves in accordance with these seasonal shifts, far removed from the bustle of urban centers, yet connected to a long history of industrious land management. Those seeking a moment of respite often look toward West End Park, situated four miles away, or consider the proximity of Lake Arthur, twelve miles distant, as a quiet retreat from the sun-drenched work of the plains. The atmosphere remains one of understated persistence, where the traditions of the region are held with a quiet, steady pride.
