Explore Timberlane, 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 Timberlane, 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 Timberlane.
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.

Timberlane unfolds across a low, verdant landscape where the air carries a persistent, humid weight that softens the edges of the horizon. It lies 2.3 miles south of Terrytown, LA (from Terrytown, LA: bearing 179°T), and is situated 5.9 miles south-southeast of New Orleans. The Verret Canal marks the proximity of flowing water just a mile away, threading through the flat, marshy terrain like a silver vein. Four miles to the west, the Bell Crevasse dips into the earth, a subtle reminder of the geological shifts that have shaped this quiet corner of the basin. At sunset, the light here turns a bruised, liquid gold, reflecting off the damp soil and casting long, spindly shadows that stretch toward the distant Big Mar. The land remains humble and open, defined by the slow, rhythmic pulse of a coastal environment that feels both ancient and perpetually in flux.
Timberlane grew from the necessity of labor and the relentless demands of the surrounding delta, where the soil once favored the cultivation of sugarcane and rice. Industry here has long been tethered to the water, with the local economy shifting from early agricultural roots to the modern logistics and service trades that support the broader regional grid. Workers have traditionally found their footing in the maintenance of infrastructure, carving out a livelihood from the stubborn, clay-heavy earth that defines the region. The proximity to the coast influences everything from the architecture of the older homes to the cautious, practical nature of the local commerce. While the days are long and the pace is measured, there is a quiet, industrial persistence to the way the morning traffic moves toward the major thoroughfares.
Timberlane fosters a cultural character that is deeply layered, reflecting the varied influences of the nearby delta and the distinct, lingering echoes of Cajun and Creole traditions. Life often centers around the Oakdale Playground, a local space that provides a necessary clearing for neighbors to gather beneath the heavy boughs of southern trees. The community values a certain reticence, preferring the comfort of familiar porches and the slow heat of a summer afternoon to the frantic pace of the city. While no singular, world-famous figure claims this exact soil as their birthplace, the spirit of the area is upheld by the common folk who maintain its traditions. The local calendar is marked by the seasonal arrival of crawfish and the subtle, cyclical changes in the tide that pull the imagination toward the open water beyond the reach of the land.

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.
