Answers
The Louisiana towns list, cleared up
Which Louisiana places get a town page?
Incorporated cities, towns and villages of 1,000 or more people, and Census-designated places of 2,500 or more.
How are the distances measured?
In a straight line from the Census point for the place to the lake, launch or pier.
My town has no page; where should I look?
Open its parish page, or type the town into the search box on the Louisiana page.
Are New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Shreveport included?
Yes, each with its closest lakes, launches and piers.
Do coastal town pages show salt water?
Yes; towns near the coast list the closest bays, passes and saltwater piers.
Do town pages show lake levels?
Nearby lakes with a USGS or Corps reading carry it on the lake page they link to.
What does an unlinked town name mean?
That town page is still waiting in the release queue and links up the day it goes live.
Can I look up a lake by name instead?
Yes, on the Louisiana A to Z of every water.
