Explore Woodworth, 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 Woodworth, 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 Woodworth.
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.

Woodworth emerges from the dense, pine-shadowed landscape of central Louisiana as a quiet intersection of timberland and slow-moving water. It lies 11.8 miles south-southwest of Alexandria, LA (from Alexandria, LA: bearing 195°T), and is situated 12.7 miles south-southwest of Pineville. Bayou Clear carves a winding path through the heavy, humid air of the region, its dark currents reflecting the emerald canopy of the nearby Alexander State Forest. The terrain here holds a subtle, persistent moisture, where the earth feels soft underfoot and the light at dusk filters through the needles in long, amber slats. Only a mile away, the surface of Indian Creek Reservoir remains glass-still, providing a cool reprieve from the heat that seems to pool between the trees. In the distance, the faint, hazy silhouette of McNutt Hill anchors the horizon, a reminder that the flat plains are occasionally interrupted by the slow, geological folding of the land.
Woodworth maintains a steady, deliberate pace of life, deeply rooted in a history of forestry and the quiet industry of the interior woods. The Woodworth Community Center serves as a focal point for the daily rhythms of the residents, acting as a gathering space where the echoes of regional tradition persist in the simple, unhurried interactions of the day. The economy remains tied to the surrounding natural resources, reflecting a legacy of sawmills and sustainable land management that has defined the character of the population for generations. For those seeking a deeper connection to the terrain, the Magnolia Forest Walk lies seven miles away, offering a passage through the dense growth that defines the local environment. Life in Woodworth flows with the same measured persistence as the bayou, an existence shaped by the shade of the pines and the quiet, persistent pulse of the forest.

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.
