Explore Bentonville, Arkansas, 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 Bentonville, 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 Bentonville.
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.

Bentonville reveals itself as a landscape defined by the quiet persistence of the Ozark plateau, where the terrain unfolds in a series of gentle, wooded elevations and hidden depressions. It lies 4.3 miles east-northeast of Centerton, AR (from Centerton, AR: bearing 78°T), and is situated 5.8 miles west-northwest of Rogers. The air here holds a crisp, earthen clarity, especially as the late afternoon sun casts long, amber shadows across the Downtown Square. Beyond the immediate reach of the streets, the topography shifts into the deeper, cooler shade of the nearby woods, while the drainage of McKisic Creek offers a steady, rhythmic presence to the land just two miles away. Travelers looking toward the horizon might catch the faint, blue-gray silhouette of Pleasant Ridge, a reminder of the ancient, folded earth that keeps Bentonville grounded in its inland, rugged character.
Settlement in Bentonville followed the slow migration of families seeking the fertility of the valleys and the protection of the timbered ridges. Early residents carved a life from the dense, hardwood surroundings, establishing a foundation that relied on the rhythms of the seasons and the modest trade of a developing frontier. The proximity of Pumpkin Hollow provided a natural shelter for those first homesteaders, who recognized the value of the sheltered, low-lying ground for their initial plantings. Over many generations, the character of Bentonville matured from a scattering of simple, wood-framed buildings into a place that preserved the memory of its modest origins even as the surrounding landscape underwent profound change.
Bentonville currently anchors a regional economy that has grown in complexity, shifting from traditional agricultural roots to serve as a significant hub for global retail logistics and corporate administration. The infrastructure supports a steady flow of commerce, with modern thoroughfares connecting the center of activity to the wider reach of the state. While there is no major university within the immediate limits of Bentonville, the educational landscape is bolstered by regional institutions that provide a steady stream of talent and innovation. Life here moves with a deliberate, industrious pace, as the local workforce balances the demands of a high-reaching business environment with the steady, unpretentious atmosphere of the surrounding hills.
Cultural life in Bentonville finds its most vivid expression in the Downtown Square, which serves as the primary stage for community gatherings, seasonal festivals, and the daily intersection of local residents. The area is deeply influenced by a commitment to the arts, which manifests in the careful integration of sculpture and design into the natural surroundings, mirroring the way light filters through the trees of the nearby Huckleberry Ridge State Forest. While professional sports remain a distant spectacle, the spirit of competition is found in the local enthusiasm for cycling and outdoor pursuits that take advantage of the varied terrain. Figures such as Sam Walton remain central to the identity of Bentonville, their influence etched into the very trajectory of the local development, while the quiet beauty of Lake Bentonville offers a place for reflection away from the hum of the busy, modern streets.

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.
