How to Use This Westlake, Louisiana Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Westlake, 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 Westlake.
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 Westlake, Louisiana
Westlake is a locality in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, United States. It has a population of approximately 4,781. The population density is 500.8 people per km². Westlake is located at 30.2606°N, 93.2637°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. Westlake is an incorporated locality. ZIP codes: 71457, 70669.Westlake defines the low-lying horizon where the Calcasieu River carves a deliberate, muscular path toward the distance. It lies 2.3 miles west-northwest of Lake Charles, LA (from Lake Charles, LA: bearing 298°T), and is situated 7.6 miles east of Sulphur. The landscape here is a humid expanse of flat, alluvial earth, where the moisture in the air hangs heavy enough to turn the sunset into a bruised, golden haze. To the east, the waters of Lake Charles reflect the towering geometry of industrial silhouettes, while the quiet marshland reaches toward the salt-tinged air of the Black Bayou, only eleven miles away. Near the river’s edge, Clooney Island emerges as a verdant knot of dense vegetation, a silent sentinel watching the currents shift with the tides that pulse through the nearby coastal plains.
Westlake carries the weight of a history rooted in the rhythmic extraction of natural resources, where the economy has long been tethered to the steady output of refineries and the movement of goods along the waterway. The character of the place is forged by the intersection of this labor and the slow, deliberate pace of the southern climate, where the Westlake Recreation Center provides a singular clearing for the life of the people. Generations have organized their days around the ebb and flow of the river, creating a culture that is as persistent as the water itself. In this corner of the state, the air is thick with the scent of pine needles and industrial brine, a place where the stillness of the afternoon is broken only by the distant, low-frequency hum of machinery that marks the passage of time.

About This Westlake Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Westlake, Louisiana. Coordinates: 30.260597, -93.263744. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Westlake includes the ZIP code (71457, 70669), telephone area code (318, 985), county seat of Calcasieu Parish, and school district assignment (Calcasieu Parish School District).
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.
