Explore Venice, 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 Venice, 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 Venice.
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.

Venice serves as a final, frayed hem of land where the relentless Mississippi River spills its heavy, sediment-rich burden into the waiting Gulf. It lies 55.3 miles southeast of Belle Chasse, LA (from Belle Chasse, LA: bearing 136°T), and is situated 59.8 miles southeast of Terrytown. The air here hangs thick and humid, tasting of brine and silt, as the ground dissolves into a labyrinth of marsh grass and shifting mud. Only a mile away, the Delta National Wildlife Refuge offers a sanctuary of tangled reeds and quiet water, while the expansive, mirroring surface of Alexis Bay sits just two miles to the west. Farther out, the horizon remains punctuated by the distant, low-lying form of Jaquines Island, and the churning currents of Grand Pass dictate the rhythm of the tides, constantly reshaping the fragile, sodden earth of the coast.
Venice functions as a vital, industrial gateway, defined by the steady hum of offshore energy crews and the determined pursuit of the deep-sea catch. The economy here remains tethered to the water, an intricate dance between the oil rigs that dot the periphery and the fishing fleets that navigate the river’s path toward the open sea. Beyond the industrial docks, the landscape softens into the quiet, expansive reaches of Wilder Flats, where the relentless encroachment of the water reminds every inhabitant of the impermanent nature of their home. Life in Venice moves with the slow, deliberate pace of the river, marked by the calloused hands of those who read the weather in the color of the sky and the shifting moods of the current.

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.
