Explore Tallulah, 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 Tallulah, 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 Tallulah.
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.

Tallulah emerges from the flat, fertile plains of the Mississippi Delta where the land stretches wide under an expansive and heavy sky. It lies 18.4 miles west-northwest of Vicksburg, MS (from Vicksburg, MS: bearing 282°T), and is situated 18.2 miles east of Delhi. Brushy Bayou carves a quiet path through the landscape, acting as a subtle vein for the surrounding fields that define the horizon. To the west, the elevation shifts slightly toward the distant rise of Fort Hill, while the waters of Texas Lake sit eight miles away as a still, reflective presence. The air here holds a deep, humid stillness that seems to suspend time, especially as the late afternoon light turns the dust of the fields into a fine, golden powder. Residents often find their way to the Richmond Sports Complex, a space that serves as a focal point for activity less than a mile from the center of the local geography.
Tallulah carries the weight of a long agrarian tradition, its foundations built upon the dark, rich soil that has dictated the rhythm of commerce for generations. The local economy remains tethered to the cycles of planting and harvest, with large-scale farming operations serving as the primary engine for regional industry. History here is marked by the steady development of trade routes that once relied on the movement of goods through the interior, away from the distant coastlines. Tallulah maintains a connection to its past through the preservation of its central business district, where the architecture reflects the practical needs of a working agricultural hub. The labor of the fields provides a constant, underlying pulse, ensuring that the town remains a functional anchor in a landscape defined by its productivity.
Cultural life in Tallulah is a quiet reflection of the deep-rooted traditions found across this interior region, where social gatherings and local events often mirror the changing seasons. The community shares a distinct character shaped by the slow pace of rural life and the enduring influence of the surrounding countryside. While the area is modest in its offerings, it remains a place where individual identities are forged through long-standing ties and shared experiences. Famous individuals such as the acclaimed author Madame Sul-Te-Wan once walked these paths, carrying the influence of the region into the wider world of cinema. Visitors might find that the true spirit of the area reveals itself not in grand monuments, but in the simple, persistent way the days unfold across the flat, open ground.

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.
