Explore Vivian, 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 Vivian, 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 Vivian.
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.

Vivian rises from the flat, pine-dotted plains of northern Louisiana, where the air hangs heavy with the scent of damp earth and cooling asphalt. It lies 27.6 miles north-northwest of Shreveport, LA (from Shreveport, LA: bearing 330°T), and is situated 19.6 miles south-southeast of Atlanta. Harold Creek carves a quiet, narrow path through the periphery of the land, its dark waters reflecting the erratic flight of dragonflies as they dart between the reeds. Two miles to the east, the stillness of Black Bayou Lake dominates the horizon, offering a mirror to the expansive, cloud-streaked sky that defines this inland expanse. While Gum Ridge remains a distant, hazy silhouette far to the west, the immediate terrain is defined by low-lying woods and thickets that absorb the heat of the afternoon sun, leaving the ground shadowed and cool by the time dusk settles over the fields.
Vivian traces its roots to the early expansion of the oil and gas industry, a legacy that still hums in the background of the local economy through the rhythmic nodding of pump jacks scattered across the surrounding acreage. The rhythm of daily life moves with a deliberate, unforced pace, centered around the modest storefronts and the quiet intersections that define the core of the locality. Residents often gather at Unknown Park, a local space that serves as a common ground for the community to pause amidst the ongoing work of the fields and the machinery that has long fueled the region. The history here is written in the rusted iron of old rigs and the resilience of those who remain, grounded by a landscape that demands a steady, patient hand to navigate its seasonal shifts.

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.
