How to Use This Aplin, Arkansas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Aplin, Arkansas. 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 Arkansas 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 Aplin.

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 Aplin, Arkansas

Aplin is a locality in Perry County, Arkansas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 100. The population density is 17.2 people per km². Aplin is located at 34.9740°N, 92.9788°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 72126.

Aplin reveals itself through the persistent, low-slung murmur of Rock Creek, which carves a path through the dense, verdant undergrowth just a short distance from the settlement. It lies 20.8 miles north of Hot Springs Village, AR (from Hot Springs Village, AR: bearing 3°T), and is situated 18.0 miles southwest of Morrilton. The land here rises and falls in long, rhythmic swells of limestone and clay, draped in a thick mantle of pine and hardwood that seems to hold the humidity of the afternoon in its heavy, emerald canopy. Beyond the immediate tree line, the horizon is anchored by the presence of Round Mountain, a silent sentinel that watches over the slow transition of light as the sun dips into the shadows of the surrounding woods. The air in Aplin carries the scent of damp earth and crushed cedar, a cool, quiet weight that settles into the hollows and lingers long after the cicadas have begun their rhythmic, insistent drone.

Aplin draws its character from the proximity of the Ouachita National Forest, which acts as a vast, breathing edge to the local way of life. The economy here has long been tethered to the timber and the soil, maintaining a pace dictated by the seasons rather than the frantic ticking of a clock. While the residents often look toward the distant terrain of Long Hollow for a sense of perspective, the daily pulse of Aplin remains centered on the small, communal exchanges of a quiet life. Even Womack Lake, though miles away, exerts a subtle influence on the local temperament, offering a distant, shimmering promise of stillness that mirrors the deliberate, unhurried cadence of the people who call this stretch of Arkansas home.

About This Aplin Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Aplin, Arkansas. Coordinates: 34.973978, -92.978784. 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 Aplin includes the ZIP code (72126), telephone area code (501), county seat of Perry County (Perryville), and school district assignment (Perryville 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.
